On May 21, 2026, USCIS announced that Adjustment of Status for foreign nationals is the U.S. is now an "extraordinary act of administrative grace" rather than a routine alternative to consular processing. Since the announcement, we've been fielding a steady stream of questions from employers, sponsored employees, and professionals with pending green card applications, and the concern is understandable. The statute hasn't changed, but the discretionary framework has, and pending I-485s are not insulated.
Join Rosanna Berardi of Berardi Immigration Law for a live session designed to answer your questions directly. Bring your scenarios, your worries, and your what-ifs. You'll hear from an attorney at the forefront of U.S. immigration law who is actively monitoring how this memo is being applied in real cases, and you'll leave with clarity on what to do next.
We'll cover what the memo actually says, who's most at risk, what employers and sponsored employees should be doing right now, and the three highest-risk groups created by this guidance: employees relying on C9 EADs after letting H-1B or L-1 status lapse, nationals subject to the IV processing pause, and nationals of travel ban countries.
Whether you're an HR leader managing a sponsored workforce, an employee with a pending green card application, or counsel advising clients navigating this shift, this is your chance to get real answers from people who live and breathe this work.
No theory. No fluff. Just the answers you need.
