IMPORTANT NEWS FOR OUR COMMUNITY

A federal judge ruled today that USCIS broke the law when it froze immigration applications for people from 39 countries.
This affected people waiting on various benefit requests, including:

🟢 Asylum applications
🟢 Work permits (EAD)

🟢 Citizenship

The court said: these policies are UNLAWFUL. They are cancelled.

What this means for you:

✅ USCIS must now process frozen applications

The reports out of Iran show a shocking number of people killed during the most recent protests. This massacre was in response to people exercising their right to protest. The exact number of deaths is still unclear due to the unprecedented communications blackout by Iran’s government, but it is in the thousands.

President Trump promised the Iranian people that “help is on the way” but no tangible action has been taken by the administration. In fact, the Travel Ban and current USCIS adjudicative pause is the exact opposite of “helping” Iranians. These policies only exacerbate their plight.

We have called on the Iranian government to respect human rights many times, but those calls fall on deaf ears. We call on President Trump to lift the Travel Ban for eligible Iranians and for USCIS to resume adjudication of their benefit requests.

Actions speak louder than tweets!

USCIS is applying stricter discretionary review for applicants from 39 “high-risk” countries under the December 16, 2025 Proclamation. Officers now weigh negative factors—especially security-related issues—more heavily, making strong evidence, rehabilitation, and clear explanations critical. Even applicants outside these countries can benefit from understanding how USCIS evaluates discretion.

Warmest wishes for a bright and Happy Yalda from all of us at Dragoman PLLC!

Tonight, we celebrate “Shab-e Yalda” or “chelleh”which is the winter solstice and the longest night of the year. This ancient Persian tradition is a beautiful celebration of the triumph of light over darkness and the promise of the coming dawn. Families and friends gather to share pomegranates and nuts, and to recite the timeless poetry of Hafez.

In our work, we witness firsthand the “long nights” many individuals and families face while navigating the complexities of the U.S. immigration system. Current challenges can often feel like an endless winter of uncertainty and waiting.

However, Yalda serves as a vital reminder: no matter how deep the darkness or how long the night, the sun inevitably shines again. Just as the days begin to lengthen starting tomorrow, we believe that perseverance and hope lead to brighter, better days ahead.

We are honored to stand with you through the night, guiding the way toward your dawn.
