I agree. From an outcome standpoint, the changes are for the worse. But some of them are understandable to the extent that in certain contexts USCIS is paying more attention to the letter of the law and not just accepting representations on face value but requiring evidence. From my standpoint, the biggest negative changes are the delays in the processing of green card applications (partly statutory and partly administrative) and the lack of access to USCIS officers.

Thanks, that's sounds very reasonable.

Unfortunately, it also sounds like there is not much push at this point to reverse these changes and streamline the process.

Not much although the Biden Administration is prodding the agencies involved in immigration to facilitate (within the bounds of the law) the attraction and retention of tech/AI talent and companies.
