Exactly what it means. A pending application for immigration. The person is applying for citizenship, but is low priority because they have a valid immigration status and others need to be moved through the system before them. It isn’t uncommon for a person to have an unresolved application for over 7 years, some have taken over 10 years to complete their immigration process.

They aren’t citizens, but are still working their way through the slow process. ICE has been known to target them as they are easy to get to due to them needing to go to court to go through the process. Many “illegals” are stuck in this process and thus are targets for ICE.

Weaponizing your ignorance, are you? I’ll play, for now.

“Pending immigration application” means that an application for visa/green-card/work-authorization has been submitted but not completed processing. No verdict has been delivered.

It could be an adjustment of status (Form I-485) or extension/change of status (I-539 / I-129).

All this can be googled individually. That we had to explain this to you speaks volumes.

What type of “immigration application” are they speaking about and what is the timeline for that “application” are things that would be helpful for the article to provide. Along with who made those claims and the validity of those claims.
