⚠️ New USCIS Policy Alert — Don't Panic. Here's What You Need to Know (sigue en español):

USCIS just issued a new memo saying that applying for a green card from inside the U.S. will now be treated as "extraordinary relief" — meaning even people who qualify may face more scrutiny and could be denied. This sounds scary. But here's the truth:

✅ This is NOT a new law.
✅ It does NOT eliminate any green card category.
✅ We believe it goes beyond what the law allows — and a legal challenge is likely coming very fast.

We've seen this before. This administration has issued dramatic policy announcements that ultimately changed very little. Moves like this are designed to frighten people into leaving the U.S. voluntarily. We will have to wait and see what, if anything, actually changes about how USCIS adjudicates cases.

Do NOT leave the United States without speaking to an immigration attorney first. If you have questions about how this affects your case, contact Reed Immigration - (303) 957-0192.

⚠️ Alerta de Nueva Política de USCIS — No Entre en Pánico. Esto Es Lo Que Necesita Saber:

USCIS acaba de emitir un nuevo memorando que dice que solicitar la green card desde dentro de los EE.UU. será tratado como un beneficio "extraordinario" — lo que significa que incluso las personas que califican podrían enfrentar más escrutinio y ser negadas. Esto suena alarmante. Pero aquí está la verdad:

✅ Esto NO es una ley nueva.
✅ NO elimina ninguna categoría de green card.
✅ Creemos que va más allá de lo que la ley permite — y es muy probable que sea impugnada legalmente muy pronto.

Hemos visto esto antes. Esta administración ha emitido anuncios de política dramáticos que en la práctica han cambiado muy poco. Medidas como esta están diseñadas para asustar a las personas y que salgan de los EE.UU. voluntariamente. Tendremos que esperar para ver qué cambia, si es que algo cambia, en la forma en que USCIS decide los casos.

NO salga de los Estados Unidos sin hablar primero con un abogado de inmigración. Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo esto afecta su caso, comuníquese con Reed Immigration — (303) 957-0192.

📢 New 2025 Naturalization Civics Test:
USCIS is making changes to the civics portion of the naturalization test to make it more difficult. If you’re eligible and thinking of applying for U.S. citizenship, consider doing it now!

Here are the key changes to be aware of:

What’s New:
• There will be 128 civics questions to study (currently there are 100 questions).
• Applicants must now answer at least12 questions correctly (out of 20) to pass the test (rather than 6 out of 10 in the current version of the test).
• There are still special exceptions for applicants who are at least 65 years old and have been permanent residents for at least 20 years.

When does this go into effect?
• Anyone who files 30 days + after the new rule is published (likely tomorrow) will take the new, longer version of the civics test.
• Anyone who files less than 30 days after the new rule is published will take the current, shorter version of the test.

Ready to apply? Give us a call to schedule a consultation – (303) 957-0192.

⚠️ Important Travel Alert for Green Card Holders!

We’ve been receiving many questions from permanent residents about whether it’s safe to travel outside the U.S. right now.

In general, travel is safe if you are a green card holder, but you should consult with an immigration attorney if any of the following apply to you or you have other concerns:

➡️ You have spent more than 6 months outside the U.S. in any given year since obtaining your green card.
➡️ You are in removal or deportation proceedings.
➡️ You have a criminal history since becoming a permanent resident (other than minor traffic violations).
➡️ There’s any indication that the current Administration could view your presence in the U.S. as having “adverse foreign policy consequences.” This could include accusations of inciting violence or supporting terrorism. Recently, individuals involved in pro-Palestinian activities have been targeted.
➡️ You are a citizen of a country that may be included in a potential new travel ban. List of countries here: https://www.reuters.com/world/countries-considered-trumps-potential-new-travel-ban-2025-03-15/

⚠️ Be Cautious at the Border:
There are numerous reports of returning permanent residents being extensively questioned, having phones and devices seized and searched, and even coerced into signing documents to voluntarily abandon their green card.

‼️ DO NOT sign anything you do not fully understand. If you have any concerns about traveling, schedule a consultation with a trusted immigration attorney before leaving the U.S.

⚠️ ¡Alerta Importante para Residentes Permanentes!

Hemos recibido muchas preguntas de residentes permanentes sobre si es seguro viajar fuera de EE. UU. en este momento.

En general, viajar es seguro si tienes una green card, pero debes consultar con un abogado de inmigración si alguna de las siguientes situaciones aplica a tu caso:

➡️ Has pasado más de 6 meses fuera de EE. UU. en cualquier año desde que obtuviste tu residencia permanente.
➡️ Estás en proceso de deportación o remoción.
➡️ Tienes antecedentes penales desde que te convertiste en residente permanente (excepto violaciones menores de tránsito).
➡️ Existe alguna posibilidad de que la Administración actual pueda considerar tu presencia en EE. UU. como una “consecuencia adversa para la política exterior.” Esto podría incluir acusaciones de incitar violencia o apoyar el terrorismo. Recientemente, personas involucradas en actividades pro-palestinas han sido objeto de esta política.
➡️ Eres ciudadano de uno de los países que podría estar incluido en una posible nueva prohibición de viaje. Lista de países aquí: https://www.reuters.com/world/countries-considered-trumps-potential-new-travel-ban-2025-03-15/

⚠️ Precaución al regresar a EE. UU.:
Hay numerosos reportes de residentes permanentes que han sido cuestionados extensamente, sus teléfonos y dispositivos incautados y revisados, y hasta presionados para firmar documentos para abandonar voluntariamente su residencia permanente.

‼️ NO firmes nada que no entiendas completamente. Si tienes dudas sobre viajar, agenda una consulta con un abogado de inmigración de confianza antes de salir de EE. UU.

UPDATE to the post below - thanks to a lawsuit filed by several American Immigration Lawyers Association attorneys, USCIS has now implemented a grace period of several weeks for these forms. 🎉

Several updated immigration forms were released Monday and Tuesday, with no advance notice and no grace period. That means if you mailed in filings in the past few days, the filings may get rejected. In addition to making more work and expense for clients and attorneys and even USCIS, law enforcement will have to re-do many signed U visa certification forms signed on the old version of the form. All of this hassle and inefficiency is so USCIS could change “gender” to “sex” on the forms and remove the option for “other gender identity.” 😣

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service updated forms without notice Monday, potentially affecting hundreds of applicants.

🚨 Importante Actualización Migratoria 🚨[English version below]

El 25 de febrero, la Administración Trump anunció planes para hacer cumplir una ley antigua y obsoleta que exige que ciertos inmigrantes se registren con el gobierno federal y lleven consigo una prueba de registro en todo momento, o de lo contrario, podrían enfrentar multas y/o tiempo en la cárcel.

❗ Lo Que Debes Saber:
🔹 Actualmente, no existe un proceso para registrarse.
🔹 Aún no está claro quiénes estarán obligados a registrarse.
🔹 Podrían estar exentos aquellos que ya hayan sido registrados con huellas dactilares por el gobierno federal y posean uno de los siguientes documentos:
✔️ Registro de llegada/salida I-94 (titulares de visa y ciertos casos de parole)
✔️ Tarjetas de cruce fronterizo (algunos canadienses y mexicanos)
✔️ Notificación de Comparecencia u Orden de Causa Justificada (personas en proceso de deportación)
✔️ Tarjeta de Residente Permanente ("green card")
✔️ Permiso de Trabajo (Employment Authorization Card)
✔️ Otros documentos migratorios específicos

⚠️ Esta nueva política podría poner a algunos inmigrantes en una situación difícil:
1️⃣ Registrarse y correr el riesgo de detención y deportación.
2️⃣ No registrarse y arriesgarse a enfrentar cargos penales.

🔍 ¿Qué Debes Hacer?
📌 Aún no hay forma de registrarse—se espera más información del gobierno.
📌 Si esta política podría aplicarse a ti, consulta con un abogado de inmigración lo antes posible para conocer tus derechos y opciones.

🚨 Important Immigration Update 🚨

On February 25, the Trump Administration announced plans to enforce an outdated law requiring certain immigrants to register with the federal government and carry proof of registration at all times—or risk fines and/or jail time.

❗ What You Need to Know:
🔹 There is currently no process to register.
🔹 It remains unclear who will be required to register.
🔹 Exemptions may apply to those who have already been fingerprinted by the federal government and possess one of the following:
✔️ I-94 arrival/departure record (visa holders & certain parolees)
✔️ Border Crosser Cards (some Canadians & Mexicans)
✔️ Notice to Appear or Order to Show Cause (those in removal proceedings)
✔️ Permanent Resident Card ("green card")
✔️ Employment Authorization Card (work permit)
✔️ Certain other immigration documents

⚠️ This policy could put some immigrants in a tough position:
1️⃣ Register and risk detention and removal.
2️⃣ Avoid registration and risk criminal prosecution.

🔍 What Should You Do?
📌 There is no way to register yet—further guidance from the government is expected.
📌 If this policy may apply to you, consult with an experienced immigration attorney immediately to understand your rights and options.
