The Daily has exclusively obtained a Homeland Security Office of Inspector General draft report on fraud detection issues within the agency’s immigration arm. The inspector general interviewed 147 managers and staff at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS, and received 256 responses to an online survey. Here are some of the findings in the report.
“63 of 254 Immigration Services Officers (24.8%) responded that they have been pressured to approve questionable applications.”
“Several USCIS employees informed us that officers have been required to approve specific cases against their will.” “63 of 254 Immigration Services Officers (24.8%) responded that they have been pressured to approve questionable applications.”
“Another 35 ISOs (13.9%) had serious concerns concerns that employees who focus on fraud or ineligibility were evaluated unfairly.”
“Cases are sometimes taken away from us and given to officers who the supervisor knows will approve the case … Another survey respondent was threatened with a formal reprimand if a case was not approved as the supervisor required.”
