US Establishes New Vetting Center for Immigrant Screening
The U.S. has created a new center to check immigrants and foreigners more carefully.
This center, called the USCIS Vetting Center, will use advanced technology like artificial intelligence to make sure people coming into the country are safe.
It will look at applications more thoroughly and check for any risks.
The U.S. also made some changes to work permits, making them shorter and requiring more frequent checks.
Additionally, people applying for certain visas will have to go through an online presence review.
All these changes are meant to keep the country safer by catching any potential threats or fraud.
USCIS established a new vetting center to enhance screening of immigrants and foreigners.
The center will use advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, for thorough reviews.
The validity period for certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) has been reduced from 5 years to 18 months.
H-1B visa applicants will undergo an online presence review starting December 15.
The changes aim to improve national security and public safety by detecting fraud and security risks.
