Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is to Mr. Kurland as well as Sponsor our Parents. Last week, officials from Hong Kong, Taipei, and Nairobi discussed the challenges their missions experience and the impact these challenges have on application processing times. The main challenge appeared to be fraud, specifically the integrity of the documents. In order to tackle this issue, the missions increased their interview rates, site visits, and documentation verification.
These strategies use a high level of mission resources while negatively affecting processing times. How do you suggest the missions should address this serious problem?
