Third-country removals are now before the U.S. Supreme Court. 🇺🇸⚖️

On September 29, 2026, the Supreme Court agreed to hear D.V.D. v. DHS, a major immigration case involving DHS’s policies for removing certain noncitizens to third countries.

The Court will consider questions involving federal immigration law, due process, and protections associated with the Convention Against Torture.

⚠️ Important: The Supreme Court has not yet issued its final decision on whether the government’s guidance is lawful.

Arguments are expected during the Court’s December 2026 argument session.

Could the 60-day grace period for certain nonimmigrant workers be eliminated? 🇺🇸⚖️

DHS has proposed removing the discretionary grace period of up to 60 days currently available to certain nonimmigrant workers after their employment ends.

The proposal could affect individuals in E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, and TN status, as well as qualifying dependents.

⚠️ Important: This is currently a proposed rule. The existing 60-day grace-period regulation has not yet been eliminated.

The public-comment period is scheduled to remain open through November 10, 2026.

Missing an immigration court hearing can have serious consequences—but what if you never knew you had a hearing? ⚖️

A person who does not appear for a scheduled immigration court hearing may receive an in absentia removal order.

If you did not receive proper notice of your hearing, however, you may have options. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to ask the Immigration Court to reopen your proceedings.

Don’t assume that a missed hearing means there is nothing you can do.

An asylum referral to immigration court does not automatically mean your asylum case has been denied. ⚖️

Under the new USCIS rule, certain affirmative asylum applications may be referred to immigration court without a USCIS asylum interview. Once referred, an applicant may continue pursuing the asylum claim before an immigration judge.

Immigration court has its own procedures, hearings, and deadlines, so carefully reviewing every notice and preparing for the next stage of the case is important.

USCIS has changed how certain affirmative asylum cases may be handled. ⚖️🇺🇸

Effective July 28, 2026, USCIS may refer certain asylum applications directly to immigration court without first conducting an asylum interview.

The change makes it especially important for applicants to carefully prepare their Form I-589 and supporting evidence and not assume they will always have an interview before a referral decision is made.

Filing with USCIS this fall? Don’t overlook the form edition.

September 2026 brings updates to several commonly used immigration forms, including Form I-485, Form I-765, and Form I-539. Some updated forms may be subject to strict edition requirements, with no grace period for older versions.

A simple form-version mistake can mean a rejected filing — and potentially more delays in your immigration process.

📌 Before you sign and submit, always confirm that you have the most recent USCIS form edition.

USCIS forms are changing this September. 📄🇺🇸

New editions of several commonly used immigration forms are taking effect in September 2026, including Forms I-539, I-765, and I-485. For certain forms, there is no grace period, meaning using an outdated edition after the applicable deadline could result in your filing being rejected.

Before submitting an immigration application, make sure you are using the correct and current form edition.

If your I-485 has been pending for an unreasonably long time, a writ of mandamus may be one option to consider.
A mandamus action is a lawsuit filed in federal court asking the government to take action on a case that has been delayed. It does not guarantee approval, but in appropriate cases it can push the agency to make a decision.
We recently filed a mandamus action for a client with a long-pending I-485.

USCIS has resumed neighborhood investigations as part of the naturalization process. Under guidance effective August 25, 2026, these investigations may be used to help verify whether applicants meet the requirements for U.S. citizenship.

If you have a pending Form N-400 or are preparing to apply, now is a good time to carefully review your residence history, employment, travel, and other information before your interview.

Attorney Anna Korneeva helps Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky residents navigate naturalization and other complex immigration matters.
