USCIS recently issued a new policy memorandum regarding Adjustment of Status (“green card”) applications filed inside the United States.

At this point, there are still many unanswered questions about how aggressively this guidance will actually be applied in practice. However, the memo appears to signal increased scrutiny in certain immigration cases, particularly where there are prior status violations, unauthorized employment, immigrant intent concerns, or other discretionary issues.

Importantly, Adjustment of Status has NOT been eliminated, and many applicants may still have viable paths forward.

I’ve attached a brief overview summarizing the current situation and some practical considerations moving forward. As always, every case is different. If you have questions about how this policy may affect your specific matter, please feel free to contact our office directly.
