The Paterson Diocese dropped its lawsuit over EB-4 visa delays after reaching a deal with federal officials that could lead to broader reforms.
The Diocese of Paterson has dropped its August 2024 lawsuit against federal agencies over delays in the EB-4 religious worker visa program, which affects foreign-born priests seeking permanent residency.
The case, involving five priests from the Philippines and Colombia, was dismissed after the diocese reached an agreement with federal officials that may lead to broader reforms.
The EB-4 backlog, exacerbated by limited annual visas and fraud concerns in a related program, has stalled green card processing despite valid R-1 visas.
Though congressional bills to address the issue remain stalled, officials say a resolution is possible through administrative action.
