Immigration Visas Are Backlogged Due To COVID-19

Consistent with the decline in visas issued, the backlog of visa requests has jumped 800% -- to about half a million visa applications which have completed documentation, but are awaiting interviews and processing.
These effects have been due in large part to the closing of embassies and consulates, plus travel bans – both to and from the U.S. as well as numerous other countries.
Visas that are being given priority treatment are typically emergency and mission-critical ones – which often excludes visas for agricultural workers.
