MAJOR SHIFT IN U.S. IMMIGRATION POLICY: THE END OF "ROUTINE" I-485 APPROVALS
Applicants applying for their Green Card through the EB-5 process (Form I-526) face a massive shift. The United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) has overturned the Adjustment of Status process. A new policy directive changes Form I-485 from a straightforward eligibility filing into a highly discretionary evaluation. Navigating the path to a Green Card just became significantly harder for temporary visa holders.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
โข Consular processing abroad is now the heavily enforced standard.
โข Filing an I-485 after entering on a tourist visa (B-1/B-2) is being flagged as "conduct inconsistent with admission."
โข Relying solely on an adjustment EAD instead of maintaining an underlying dual-intent visa (like H-1B) carries severe risk.
Don't let your application fall into the discretionary denial trap. Read our latest website update for a complete look at how this changes the landscape for F-1, B-2, and corporate visa holders. ๐https://www.bilimoriaassociate.com/immigration-news-detail.php?rId=254
