USCIS Reinstates Neighborhood Investigations

Effective August 22, 2025, USCIS has issued Policy Memorandum PM-602-0189, ending the blanket waiver of personal investigations under INA 335(a).

Officers may now conduct neighborhood checks of applicants’ residences, employment, and community ties — covering the last 5 years.

This means that USCIS officers may visit homes, workplaces, and communities to verify the information provided in immigration applications.

If you have an application pending or are planning to file, it is important to be prepared for these checks and ensure all documents and representations are accurate.
