Will the Government Warn You Before You Trigger the Unlawful Presence Bars?

Will the government notify you if your international travel risks triggering an unlawful presence bar? No.

U.S. immigration agencies do not provide individualized legal advice, so ensuring that a departure on Advance Parole won't compromise your status is entirely up to you.

If a 3-year or 10-year bar is triggered by your travel, you will likely only find out at the port of entry when attempting to re-enter, or later when USCIS denies your adjustment of status application. Consulting an immigration attorney prior to international travel is essential.

Can You Still Get a Green Card After Turning 21? CSPA Explained

Turning 21 doesn't automatically mean a child loses the ability to get a green card through a parent.

The Child Status Protection Act can change how the child's age is calculated for immigration purposes. The time an underlying immigrant petition was pending can be subtracted from the child's age. If the resulting CSPA age is under 21, the child may still qualify for the green card process.

However, CSPA is not automatic. There are specific requirements and exceptions, including rules involving marriage, so the calculation needs to be reviewed carefully. ⚖️

Can You Keep Working After Your I-94 Expires? The 240-Day Rule Explained

If your employer filed your extension petition before your I-94 expired, you don't need to panic if a decision hasn't come through yet.

For most employment-based categories, including H-1B, L-1, O-1, E, and TN, you receive an automatic 240-day extension of your employment authorization while USCIS adjudicates the case. As long as the extension was filed on time, you can continue working past your I-94's expiration date. ⚖️

Some days it feels like you're barely moving.

The process is slow. The timeline keeps stretching. The progress feels invisible.
But here's the thing: slow progress is still progress.

Every small step you take, every challenge you push through, every day you choose not to give up is bringing you closer to where you want to be.

It doesn't matter how long it takes. What matters is that you don't stop.

Waiting for the Green Card Movement?

Don't Miss the October 2026 Visa Bulletin
October 1st marks the official start of the new federal fiscal year, resetting annual Green Card quotas. Late in the fiscal year, visa movement typically stalls as annual caps are exhausted. October is the critical moment when new visa allocations are finally available, frequently resulting in significant priority date jumps, particularly for employment-based categories. ⚖️

Who Is Impacted By the New Birthright Citizenship Orders?

After the Supreme Court struck down the previous birthright citizenship ban, the administration now issued two new orders that take a narrower approach and target specific categories, including children of foreign government employees, alien enemies, certain cases involving visa fraud or birth tourism, and births in certain U.S. territories.

Some of these situations already had restrictions under existing law, but the provisions addressing visa fraud and birth tourism raise new questions about how birthright citizenship will be applied. ⚖️

75-Country Visa Ban Struck Down, But Interviews Are Paused Worldwide

Immigrant visa applicants just received an important court victory, but there's still a major obstacle. A federal judge struck down the 75-country immigrant visa ban, allowing citizens of those countries to move forward with immigrant visa applications.

But right after the ruling, the State Department canceled immigrant visa interviews worldwide, citing training on the public charge ground.

For anyone already scheduled for an interview, this means no immigrant visa can be issued for now, regardless of the positive ruling.

Major Immigration Update: State Department Freezes Immigrant Visa Interviews Worldwide

The State Department has canceled immigrant visa interviews worldwide.

The stated reason is to train consular officers on the public charge rule and better assess whether applicants are likely to become financially dependent on the U.S. government after entering the country.

No date has been announced for when interviews will resume.

This is especially difficult for applicants who have already spent years waiting for their priority date and NVC processing to reach this stage.
