Immigration updates
Many employers claim to offer EB-3 sponsorship without truly understanding the PERM process or long-term commitment involved. Prospective applicants are advised to vet employers carefully before relying on sponsorship promises.
Immigration attorneys suggest the new USCIS memo ending Adjustment of Status may be partly motivated by World Cup visa overstay concerns, requiring green card applicants to pursue consular processing abroad.
A USCIS memo on Adjustment of Status has sparked fear in the immigration community. Attorneys note a memo alone does not change existing law, and legal responses are already being organized.

Common questions from this week's immigration news
USCIS Policy Memorandum PM-602-0199, issued May 21-22, 2026, declares that filing Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) inside the United States is now treated as 'extraordinary' discretionary relief rather than a standard pathway. Officers are instructed to weigh factors including whether the applicant could instead apply through consular processing abroad, and the memo frames consular processing as the new default route for most applicants. This reverses decades of established practice under INA Section 245.
The memo explicitly states that dual-intent visa holders — including H-1B and L-1 workers — are not inherently disqualified from filing I-485. However, the policy significantly raises the bar for all applicants by treating AOS as discretionary 'administrative grace.' Applicants on non-dual-intent visas such as B-1/B-2 or F-1 face heightened scrutiny. H-1B and L-1 holders retain stronger positive factors, but no AOS filing is now guaranteed approval.
USCIS has announced exemptions to the new rule for certain vulnerable groups, including applicants with already-pending I-485 filings, those facing compelling humanitarian hardship from departure, and potentially others. However, the specific eligibility criteria remain vague, and USCIS has not yet defined what qualifies as 'extraordinary circumstances.' Applicants should consult an immigration attorney immediately to assess whether they qualify for an exemption before making any travel or filing decisions.
