2018年1月31日，美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)宣布大幅修改现行zhengzhi庇户面谈安排政策，以「后来先出」(last in, first out)原则，优先处理新提交的申请，而非已积累的旧案；USCIS说，这样做是为解决越积越多的政庇桉件，让移民官迅速筛检出不符资格的新申请者，进入递解程序，不让他们因漫长的等候程序而获工卡并留美，给国安留下隐患。

USCIS表示，高达31万1000件的政庇积案，已达「危机程度」(crisis-level)，积累的政庇案件在过去五年里，增加逾17倍；而大量案件的长期积压，给申请造假和滥用者创造条件，因此将改变现行从后到前的面谈安排顺序，改为优先处理最新提交的申请。

USCIS指出，政庇申请者在长达数年等候面试期间，可获工作许可也能留美，无形中为无证移民打开留美的灰色地带，也给国家安全带来隐患。

USCIS局长西斯纳（L. Francis Cissna）说，「zhengzhi庇户申请的延迟，损害合法政庇申请者的权益，也使国家安全和政庇系统的本意遭滥用和破坏。」

USCIS表示，新提交的政庇案件越快进行面试，能大大压缩造假行为的时间和空间，同时也让移民官迅速筛选出材料造假、不符资格的申请者。

根据新规，USCIS即日起在安排新的面试时间时，将优先安排新递交的申请；此前已提交，正在等候面试通知的案件，将按提交时间从新到旧的顺序安排，即提交得越早者，面试安排将越晚；已被安排面试者，因申请人在该时段无法参加面试或USCIS原因而必须重新安排面试的，也将被优先安排。

WASHINGTON — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the agency will
schedule asylum interviews for recent applications ahead of older filings, in an attempt to stem the
growth of the agency’s asylum backlog.

USCIS is responsible for overseeing the nation’s legal immigration system, which includes adjudicating
asylum claims. The agency currently faces a crisis-level backlog of 311,000 pending asylum cases as of
Jan. 21, 2018, making the asylum system increasingly vulnerable to fraud and abuse. This backlog has
grown by more than 1750 percent over the last five years, and the rate of new asylum applications has
more than tripled.

To address this problem, USCIS will follow these priorities when scheduling affirmative asylum
interviews:
1. Applications that were scheduled for an interview, but the interview had to be rescheduled at the
applicant’s request or the needs of USCIS;
2. Applications pending 21 days or less since filing; and
3. All other pending applications, starting with newer filings and working back toward older filings.

Additionally, the Affirmative Asylum Bulletin issued by USCIS has been discontinued.

“Delays in the timely processing of asylum applications are detrimental to legitimate asylum seekers,”
said USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna. “Lingering backlogs can be exploited and used to undermine
national security and the integrity of the asylum system.”

This priority approach, first established by the asylum reforms of 1995 and used for 20 years until 2014,
seeks to deter those who might try to use the existing backlog as a means to obtain employment
authorization. Returning to a “last in, first out” interview schedule will allow USCIS to identify frivolous,
fraudulent or otherwise non-meritorious asylum claims earlier and place those individuals into removal
proceedings.
