The new USCIS policy, issued in Policy Memorandum PM-602-0199, heavily restricts Form I-485 Adjustment of Status (AOS) from within the United States. It shifts the final step of the green card process to consular processing abroad for most applicants, unless extraordinary circumstances are proven.
05.22.2026

Key Elements of the Policy

• Discretionary Enforcement:
Officers must strictly weigh both positive and negative factors in an applicant’s history.

• Mandatory Consular Processing:
Any minor adverse factor — such as brief status gaps, temporary entries followed by intent to adjust status, or overstays — may trigger a denial of Adjustment of Status, requiring the applicant to complete the green card process at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.

• Immediate Effect:
The policy takes effect immediately and significantly impacts both pending and future applications.

• Dual-Intent Carve-Outs:
Visa holders with explicit dual intent, such as H-1B and L-1 status, are largely exempt from the strict new “extraordinary circumstances” standard applied to single-intent visas like F-1 or B-1/B-2.

If you have a pending or upcoming case, please contact DURRANI LAW FIRM and let us know your current visa type so we can evaluate how this policy may specifically affect your situation.

Los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos otorgarán un "ajuste"

25 de mayo de 2026
La nueva política de USCIS, emitida en el Memorando de Política PM-602-0199, restringe significativamente el uso del Formulario I-485 para Ajuste de Estatus (AOS) dentro de los Estados Unidos. Esta política traslada el paso final del proceso de residencia permanente (“green card”) al procesamiento consular en el extranjero para la mayoría de los solicitantes, a menos que puedan demostrar circunstancias extraordinarias.
05.22.2026

Elementos Clave de la Política

• Aplicación Discrecional Estricta:
Los oficiales deberán evaluar rigurosamente los factores positivos y negativos en el historial del solicitante.

• Procesamiento Consular Obligatorio:
Cualquier factor adverso, incluso menor (como pequeños períodos fuera de estatus, entradas temporales seguidas por intención de ajustar estatus, o permanencias excedidas), puede provocar la negación del Ajuste de Estatus y requerir que el solicitante viaje a una embajada o consulado de los Estados Unidos en su país de origen para finalizar el proceso de residencia.

• Efecto Inmediato:
La política entra en vigor de inmediato y afecta significativamente tanto a solicitudes pendientes como futuras.

• Excepciones para Visas de Doble Intención:
Los titulares de visas con intención dual explícita, como las visas H-1B y L-1, están en gran medida exentos del nuevo estándar estricto de “circunstancias extraordinarias” aplicado a visas de intención única, como F-1 o B-1/B-2.

Si usted tiene un caso pendiente o planea presentar una solicitud próximamente, por favor informe a DURRANI LAW FIRM cuál es su tipo de visa actual para que podamos analizar cómo esta política podría aplicarse específicamente a su situación.

Don't Say "I'm Sorry": 4 Critical Steps.
To Protect Your Rights After a Car Crash.

If you're in a car accident in Wisconsin, you're entering a "fault-based" system. This means the person who caused the crash is responsible for the damages. However, insurance companies often try to minimize what they owe.

The Golden Rule: Silence is Safety

Anything you say at the scene can be used to reduce your payout. Avoid saying "I'm sorry" or "I didn't see you." Instead, let the police report and your medical records tell the story.

When to Hire an Expert

* Complex Fault: If the other driver is blaming you.

* Severe Injuries: When medical bills are piling up.

* Government Vehicles: Wisconsin has strict 120-day notice rules if a city or state vehicle was involved.

An attorney handles the aggressive adjusters so you can focus on recovery. Most work on a contingency fee—you only pay if you win.

1. IMMEDIATE SAFETY

* Check for injuries and call 911.

* Move to a safe area but stay at the scene.

2. EVIDENCE GATHERING

* Take photos of all vehicle damage and the road conditions.

* Exchange names, phone numbers, and insurance info.

* Get contact info for any witnesses (crucial for your attorney).

3. LEGAL & MEDICAL PROTECTION

* DO NOT admit fault or apologize to anyone.

* Request a police report (Wisconsin Form DT4000).

* See a doctor immediately to document injuries.

4. THE ATTORNEY PHASE

* Call an attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.

* Redirect all calls from the other driver's adjuster to your lawyer.

* Keep a folder of all medical bills and repair receipts.

Aclaremos a quién se le permite viajar dentro de los Estados Unidos.

Muchas personas han escuchado que el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) ahora está presente en los aeropuertos y entra en pánico.

Aclaremos a quién se le permite viajar dentro de los Estados Unidos.

Si eres ciudadano estadounidense

Puedes viajar en los Estados Unidos

Si usted es ciudadano estadounidense y posiblemente una persona de color, asegúrese de tener su pasaporte con usted

Si usted es ciudadano estadounidense y posiblemente inmigrante con acento, asegúrese de tener su pasaporte con usted.

Si estás aquí con una visa

Debe llevar su pasaporte con usted, junto con su I-94 todo el tiempo

Si se le ha emitido una autorización de trabajo

Puede viajar usando su tarjeta de autorización de trabajo y su identificación estatal Real

Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que no todos los estados emiten Real IDs a personas que

no son ciudadanos estadounidenses pero que tienen estatus legal para los permisos de trabajo en los

Estados Unidos. En tales casos, lleve su pasaporte y el I-94

Si tienes DACA

Puede viajar con su DACA, llevar su permiso de trabajo, licencia de conducir y pasaporte

Si eres residente permanente

Debes llevar tu tarjeta verde contigo en todo momento

Si no tiene ninguna documentación, absténgase de visitar el aeropuerto, incluso para fines de recoger o entregar.
