BOARD OF IMMIGRATION APPEALS INCREASED TO EIGHTEEN MEMBERS
Earlier in this newsletter, we reported on a proposed rule to streamline Board of Immigration Appeals cases so that the BIA could handle a greater volume of cases more efficiently. Last month, the BIA also announced another initiative to address their dramatically growing caseload. The BIA will grow by 20% increasing from 15 to 18 permanent members. The Board was last expanded from 12 to 15 members in 1996. The BIA has not named any persons to fill the new positions.
