At AILA AC26 in San Diego, Attorney Haitham Ballout had the opportunity to meet Ira Kurzban, one of the most respected names in U.S. immigration law and the author of Kurzban’s Immigration Law Sourcebook.

USCIS Policy Memorandum PM-602-0199 emphasizes that Adjustment of Status is discretionary and may require some applicants to complete the green card process through consular processing abroad.

If you have a pending I-485, upcoming interview, Request for Evidence, or travel plans, speak with an immigration attorney before making decisions.

Starting May 29, 2026, USCIS will begin enforcing consequences for unpaid Annual Asylum Fees on pending asylum cases.

The Annual Asylum Fee is a new yearly fee that applies each calendar year a Form I-589 asylum application remains pending. Once a case has been pending for about one year, USCIS will send a notice with a 30-day deadline to pay.

If the fee is not paid within 30 days, USCIS may reject the pending asylum application. This can also affect asylum-based work authorization, including pending Form I-765 applications and existing work permits.

It is also important to keep your address updated with USCIS and the Immigration Court, and to check your mail regularly. Missing a notice, hearing, motion, or appeal deadline may lead to serious consequences, including a possible removal order in absentia if you miss a court hearing.

If you have a pending asylum case, review every USCIS notice carefully and act before the deadline.

Immigration rules can change quickly. Ballout Law can help you understand your options and next steps.

The U.S. has implemented full entry suspensions affecting nationals from 12 countries, impacting most immigrant and non-immigrant visa issuance from abroad. Limited exceptions or waivers may apply.

Separately, recent USCIS guidance has resulted in holds on certain green card and naturalization processing for applicants from countries covered by the travel-ban framework. Impact may vary by case.

At Ballout Law, we help individuals, families, and employers understand their options, including exceptions and alternative pathways.
