With the new policy guidelines release on May 21, 2026, regarding adjustment of status applications, first and for most, let's not panic. The FB post from DHS in the first couple of lines stated "from now on," one can deduce that this new approach will apply to new applications, not the ones currently pending. Second, the policy memo, gives USCIS officers wide discretion in handling one-stop applications. This reads to me, that not all one-stop applications aka applications for adjustment of status will be automatically denied and moved to NVC processing. I think, we all need to take a deep breath and see how this unfolds. As always you can call my office for more indepth analysis. 773-661-9106
