USCIS will not furlough its 13,000 employees after all

Today, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it will cancel the current administrative furlough that was scheduled to begin on August 30, 2020, "as a result of unprecedented spending cuts and a steady increase in daily incoming revenue and receipts.” The furlough would have impacted more than 13,000 employees, or nearly 70 percent of USCIS’s workforce.
