F-1 OPT premium processing costs nearly $2,000, in addition to the filing fee, and it comes with a required timeline.

We are seeing cases where:
✔️ The deadline passes
❌ No decision is issued
❌ No RFE or NOID is issued
❌ No meaningful response from USCIS

Premium processing is tied to adjudicatory action. If that does not happen within the required timeframe, there may be a basis for a refund.

If your premium processing case is delayed or you are not getting answers, we want to hear about your experience.

I was at a USCIS interview yesterday and found out firsthand there is a hold on immigration adjudications across the board. Green cards, naturalization, work permits, family petitions. All of it. And USCIS has made zero public announcement.

A leaked internal memo says they are doing new background checks on all cases filed before April 27, 2026. That means, if your case was filed before then and is still pending, this applies to you. If you filed within the last few days or plan to file, you might be in a long line to wait.

So last night I filed a FOIA request to force the government to produce the internal records that explain what is actually going on.

Here is what I want to know from you: do you have a pending immigration case right now? Has your interview been affected? What did the officer tell you? Drop it in the comments. I read every single one, and your experience may help us understand the full scope of what is happening.

The people behind Legacy Group/Legacy immigration services in Florida were arrested for filing fake immigration applications, including asylum cases and work permits. They filed cases for people who didn't even know fake cases were filed for them.

If they handled your case, it does not disappear with them. You need to find out what was actually filed under your name and whether your case may be at risk. You may still have options available.

We are reviewing impacted cases now. Book a case review: https://bit.ly/3M7mV9c

Se você usou o Legacy Group, seu caso pode estar em risco.

USCIS announced that attorneys can no longer appear remotely at certain interviews, but of course, their policy isn't clear.

The policy references interviews at field offices AND asylum/NACARA interviews at asylum offices, separately.

Until USCIS clarifies, plan for in-person attendance.

This happened in my community this morning.

If ICE or law enforcement stops your car, what you do in those first moments matters.

Know your rights. Know your risks. And make sure you understand the laws in your state.

Asylum Tip 10: If you already filed your asylum application, read your answers again. Do they actually explain what happened?

We often see answers like:
• "I was threatened"
• "It was dangerous"
• "They wanted to harm me"

But immigration is looking for details.

What happened?
Who did it?
When did it happen?
What exactly was said or done?

Without those details, it can be harder for immigration to understand your case.

If you’ve already filed and your answers feel too general or unclear, it may be worth having your application reviewed. If you need help, book an appointment with us: https://bit.ly/4kDAEWQ

Asylum Tip 9: If you already filed your asylum application – or are thinking about filing – this is important. You have 1 year to file your case

In most many situations, you must file for asylum within one year of entering the U.S. We often see people who:
• Didn't know about the deadline
• Waited while exploring other options
• Filed late without explaining why

Even if your case is strong, timing can still affect the outcome.

There are exceptions in some situations – but they must be clearly explained.

If you're not sure whether the one-year deadline applies to you, or if your application addressed it correctly, it may be worth having your case reviewed. If you need help, book an appointment with us: https://bit.ly/4kDAEWQ
