A new May 21, 2026, USCIS policy memo reframes I-485 adjustment of status as "extraordinary relief," directing officers to evaluate applications on a case-by-case basis with broad authority to deny, building on a November 2020 USCIS memo that first expanded officer discretion.

𝘾𝙇𝙄𝙀𝙉𝙏 𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝙏: New York State let the May 11, 2026, appeal deadline pass without challenging the Albany County Supreme Court's April 8 decision annulling NYSDEC's freshwater wetlands regulations, and NYSDEC has now issued interim guidance clarifying how it will exercise jurisdiction in the wake of that ruling.

Developers, municipalities, and landowners with projects near wetlands should review what this means for pending applications and existing jurisdictional determinations.

Over his more than 20 years as our managing partner (starting in the early 1980s to the mid-2000s), Bill Mathias was known as much for his wise counsel as he was for his genuine investment in the junior lawyers at our firm, who, today, have gone on to become standout members in the legal industry and their communities at large.

In the spirit of Bill's commitment to shaping and inspiring the next generation of attorneys, we are proud to launch the William E. Mathias, II, Class of '71 Scholarship and Clerkship in partnership with Bill's alma mater, the University at Buffalo School of Law, which will be awarded annually to a 2L student in finance or corporate law who reflects the integrity, respect, and leadership that defined Bill's career.
