In a recent statement, the CIS Ombudsman revealed that as of 2022, USCIS had not implemented artificial intelligence (AI) on a large scale, despite the Evidence Classifier having processed 24 million page scrolls. However, the Ombudsman’s office was shut down in March 2025, raising concerns about the increasing sophistication and decreasing transparency of AI in immigration benefit processing.
Key Details:
- Ombudsman reported limited AI implementation by USCIS as of 2022.
- Evidence Classifier processed 24 million page scrolls before the Ombudsman’s office closure.
- The Ombudsman’s office was shut down in March 2025.
- Concerns about the transparency of AI in immigration processing have been voiced.
The closure of the Ombudsman’s office and the lack of transparency in AI usage could significantly impact immigrants navigating the USCIS process. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
