Immigration Attorney AMA 2026: EB-3 Green Card, RFEs, USCIS Process & Removal Defense Q&A

An experienced immigration attorney with a background as a DHS/USCIS Asylum Officer and ICE Office of Chief Counsel law clerk has returned for another public AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit's r/USCIS community. The session is open to questions spanning the full range of U.S. immigration matters, making it a valuable resource for those in the employment-based green card pipeline. For EB-3 applicants specifically, this AMA presents a rare opportunity to get insights from someone who has worked on both the adjudication side (USCIS) and the enforcement side (ICE), as well as private legal practice. Topics like Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), and processing delays are directly relevant to employment-based petitions including EB-3 cases. The attorney's experience covers marriage-based and family immigration, employment-based visas and green cards, asylum, and removal defense. This breadth is particularly useful for EB-3 applicants who may face overlapping issues — such as maintaining valid status while awaiting priority date movement, or responding to USCIS requests during I-140 or adjustment of status adjudication. Participants are encouraged to post questions directly in the Reddit thread. While individual legal advice is limited in a public forum, the AMA format typically yields practical guidance on common scenarios, procedural timelines, and how USCIS officers evaluate specific case types — insight that can help applicants better understand what to expect and how to prepare. This resource is especially timely given current 2026 immigration trends including PERM reform discussions, EB-3 visa number availability, and heightened USCIS scrutiny on adjustment of status applications.
