Senator Abraham and Attorney Shusterman

The number one immigration service issue is the tremendous delay in processing all types of immigration petitions and applications.

On March 30, 2000, Attorney Carl Shusterman discussed this issue in Washington, DC with Senator Spencer Abraham (R-MI), the Chairman of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee.

Mr. Shusterman discussed the meeting that he and three other AILA attorneys had with Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) earlier in the day. Senator Feinstein later introduced a bipartisan measure entitled the “Immigration Services Backlog Reduction Act” in the Senate.

The bill was signed into law by President Clinton on October 17, 2000.
