Rumours are that the program is now hardcapped at 17500 with roughly a third already over. They are supposed to become a lot more selective with the current and new applicants and will be looking deeper into "persecution" claims.

Some of the interviews last up to 3 hours. People have been called back twice, even 3 times for follow up interviews on separate dates. Each time this information is relayed to various Intel departments for closer examination and investigation. A guy I know was quizzed about an unpaid traffic fine from the 1980's. That fine doesn't even exist on the traffic department system, he checked.

I'm not sure how much more selective it can be.
 

US farmer faces legal pushback for paying white SA workers higher wages​


A Mississippi farmer who paid higher wages and favoured white South African guest workers has been taken to court by five black American workers alleging a pattern of racial and citizenship-based discrimination and “wage theft”.

US citizens Michael Anthony Nash, Jimmy Shaw, Vinnie Cason, Grant Lewis and Charleston Taurvonta Harris with the support of the Mississippi Centre for Justice (MCJ) and the Southern Migrant Legal Services filed a federal lawsuit in Greenville, Mississippi, in May against Gregory Carr, farm owner and manager of Carr Farms, headquartered in Schlater, a small town in Leflore county and a producer of rice and soybeans.

Why would an employer pay more than what's necessary? I thought they said Americans dont work on farms anyway. They need immigrants to do these jobs. Now Americans are complaining. Make it make sense.

This lawsuit was filed on 15 May 2025, the first 'refugees' arrived on 12 May 2025 so this predates the 'refugees', article also mentions H-2A visa workers which does not apply to the 'refugees'.

I was chatting to a guy who was approved, and has now moved, I think. He applied in June 2025, and I think less than a year is very quick. I have to wonder about the "persecuted" part though; he was a part business owner, living in a townhouse in the West Rand. His father has remained behind to run the business.
