U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
There are over 10,200 forms, hundreds of immigration statuses, hefty annual renewal fees, and varying steps immigrants must take to start the process for their specific situation.
Many times applications are denied because the applicant submitted forms for the incorrect category and cause them to lose all filing fees paid up to that point (no refunds).
This cumbersome immigration process along with unreasonable Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and lawyers fees must be streamlined.
