USCIS issued a new policy memo last week emphasizing that adjustment of status (applying for a green card inside the U.S.) is a discretionary, “extraordinary” benefit and not a substitute for consular processing abroad. If you are thinking about filing for a green card from within the United States, contact our office with your questions so we can help you understand how this memo could affect your case.

H-1B or TN... which one actually makes sense for you?

Both visas can open the door to working in the United States, but they come with very different rules on eligibility, timing, and long-term options like the green card.

Swipe through this carousel to see the key differences in who qualifies, how long you can stay, and what each visa means for your future plans.

If you are a Canadian or Mexican professional, or an employer trying to hire one, and you are not sure whether to aim for an H-1B or a TN, our immigration team can help you map out the right path for your situation.

Very valuable information!

If you have an upcoming trip abroad, here are some tips on where NOT to put your passport based on our experience issuing tens of thousands of emergency passports:

❌The seatback pocket of the airplane

❌The glove compartment of your rental car

❌Sitting out on a restaurant table

❌In a bag hanging on the back of a chair.

If something does happen, our consular teams are there to help. Learn more at travel.state.gov/helpabroad.

I have been receiving calls from teachers, school counselors, etc., worried because students have expressed fear about their parents being deported while they are at school. I have also received concerned calls from individuals who are worried about their neighbors and friends.

I am grateful for the teachers, clergy, neighbors, doctors, and other professionals and individuals who are looking out for the immigrants who are the backbone of our community.

Be kind to each other, reserve judgment, treat others with respect and dignity, and realize that our nation is stronger because of immigrants--past and present.

For the past thirty years, I have worked with immigrants. They are some of the hardest-working individuals. People are quick to judge the immigrant community despite not knowing their stories and backgrounds. Do not assume that all immigrants are illegal or criminals.

I hope these flyers can help anyone with similar concerns. Please feel free to download these and share them. The flyers are in the following languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Haitian, and Punjabi.

I am presenting immigration seminars for the next three days! Please feel free to share the flyer information with anyone you think may be interested. The free consultations are only for full-time international students attending colleges and universities in Utah and BYU-Idaho. They are also for students from these same schools who are working on their OPT.
