The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) is one of the most important protections available to families navigating the U.S. immigration system.

For parents sponsoring children and for children immigrating with their families, turning 21 can have serious immigration consequences. The CSPA was enacted to address this problem and help prevent children from “aging out” due to lengthy government processing times.

You can read our newest article on the CSPA here: https://aspirevisaattorneys.com/cspa/

If you believe your child may be at risk of aging out, or if you are unsure whether CSPA protection applies to your case, please contact us to schedule a consultation by calling 970-680-1223 or scheduling online.

On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation restricting the entry of anyone in H-1B status without payment of a new $100,000 fee.

The proclamation, titled “Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers” had an effective date of 12:01 a.m. EDT Sunday, September 21, 2025, and is set to expire after one year.

On September 20, 2025, USCIS issued guidance, which noted that the proclamation applies to petitions filed after 12:01 am EDT on September 21,2025.

Specifically, USCIS explains the Proclamation does not:

✔️Apply to any previously issued H-1B visas, or any petitions submitted prior to 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on Sept. 21, 2025.
✔️Change any payments or fees required to be submitted in connection with any H-1B renewals. The fee is a one-time fee on submission of a new H-1B petition.
✔️Prevent any holder of a current H-1B visa from traveling in and out of the United States.

Last Friday, the Trump administration announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, stating protections for Haitians would end on Sept. 2, 2025, rather than on Feb. 3, 2026, which was the original date according to the Biden administration’s 18-month extension of the program.

On July 1, 2025, Judge Brian Cogan of the Eastern District of New York blocked the Trump administration from terminating TPS so abruptly, saying it was unlawfully done and would lead to harm.

This decision restores TPS for Haiti until Feb. 3, 2026.

If you are a Haitian national present in the U.S. on TPS, pease do not wait until your status is about to expire before seeking legal advice.

On June 27, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, effective September 2, 2025. The decision was published in the July 1, 2025 edition of the Federal Register, which will affect an estimated 348,187 nationals of Haiti who hold TPS under Haiti’s designation.

TPS is designated for a country when conditions are so terrible that it would be inhumane to make citizens return to that country. Since 2021, the United Nations has detailed the crisis in Haiti, including gang violence, mass displacement of people, r**e, kidnappings and murder.

The termination of TPS for Haiti is a significant development with far-reaching consequences. You can read our latest article on the termination of Haitian TPS here: https://aspirevisaattorneys.com/tps-for-haiti-has-been-terminated/
