I saw your comment on a closed thread: "Fear mongering. Trump with all his supposed 'tightening' of immigration didn't speed the process up. One of the slowest and inefficient in modern history.

Biden to the rescue to make America great again after trump messed it up."

Biden can't single-handedly fix anything related to immigration time. Can you hire a new director and ask him to hire more employees to deal with the huge influx of applications? Yes. Can he tell the director to lessen the scrutiny so the processing times go down? Yes. Will Biden do that? Nope! He's all talk. He will do what his daddy, Barack America, did. Some USCIS times went up (spouse) and some went down (K-1) during the eight years of Barack/Biden. 

Compare 2010 processing times to 2016.

USCIS had "higher than expected volumes" for N-400

One guy can't fix the processing times. He is going to repeat what his administration did for eight years. That's all he knows. There will continue to be more people applying every year, and USCIS will increase their backlog unless they hire more workers to deal with it.

The amount that USCIS is requesting from Congress is small compared to their $4 billion dollar budget. 

Some have claimed that USCIS has falsely threatened a furlough when they really have enough money to pay their employees.
