Tahirih Houston Executive Director, Anne Chandler, spoke to Houston Public Media about the increase in processing times by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Despite receiving fewer petitions in 2018, delays have almost doubled since 2014.
“We have a client from Nigeria and she’s been waiting for her employment authorization documents since December 2016 and has been unable to secure housing and doesn’t have a valid photo ID and so just making daily ends meet is quite difficult,” said Chandler.
