⚠️ Important Update for Immigrants with Advance Parole — Talk to a Lawyer Before You Travel (sigue en español abajo):

The Board of Immigration Appeals just issued a major decision, Matter of Delcarmen-Lara (Aug. 13, 2026), that changes the rules around traveling on advance parole.

For over a decade, immigration lawyers relied on Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly (2012), which said that leaving the U.S. on advance parole did not count as a "departure" that could trigger inadmissibility for unlawful presence. That protection made advance parole travel a relatively safe option for many people with pending adjustment of status applications.

This new decision overrules that precedent. The Board now says a trip abroad on advance parole does count as a "departure" under INA § 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) — meaning it could trigger the 3-year or 10-year unlawful presence bar for people who accrued unlawful presence before their trip, and could make them inadmissible and ineligible to adjust status upon return.

The Board says this new rule applies prospectively (going forward), not to trips already taken.

If you have advance parole and are considering international travel, do NOT leave the country until you've spoken with an immigration attorney. Your individual situation (how much unlawful presence you've accrued, your circuit, your pending applications) matters enormously here.

⚠️ Aviso importante para inmigrantes con permiso de viaje anticipado (advance parole) — Hable con un abogado antes de viajar

La Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración (BIA) acaba de emitir una decisión importante, Matter of Delcarmen-Lara (13 de agosto de 2026), que cambia las reglas sobre viajar con permiso de viaje anticipado.

Durante más de una década, los abogados de inmigración se basaron en Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly (2012), que establecía que salir de EE. UU. con permiso de viaje anticipado no contaba como una "salida" que pudiera generar inadmisibilidad por presencia ilegal. Esa protección hacía que viajar con permiso de viaje anticipado fuera una opción relativamente segura para muchas personas con solicitudes de ajuste de estatus pendientes.

Esta nueva decisión anula ese precedente. La Junta ahora dice que un viaje al extranjero con permiso de viaje anticipado sí cuenta como una "salida" bajo la sección 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) del INA — lo que podría activar la prohibición de 3 o 10 años por presencia ilegal para quienes acumularon presencia ilegal antes de su viaje, y podría hacerlos inadmisibles e inelegibles para ajustar su estatus al regresar.

La Junta indica que esta nueva regla aplica de manera prospectiva (hacia adelante), no a viajes ya realizados.

Si usted tiene permiso de viaje anticipado y está considerando viajar internacionalmente, NO salga del país sin antes hablar con un abogado de inmigración. Su situación individual (cuánta presencia ilegal ha acumulado, su circuito judicial, sus solicitudes pendientes) es sumamente importante en este caso.

Important Update About Green Card Applications (sigue en español abajo):

On May 22, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released a memo with a message that worried many people in the immigrant community.

What the memo said:

The memo told immigration officers that "adjustment of status," or getting a green card from inside the United States — without traveling abroad — is a privilege, not a right. The memo reminds officers that getting a green card this way is a matter of discretion, meaning it is something the government chooses to allow, not something applicants are automatically entitled to. The government's public announcement made it sound even more alarming by saying this option would only be available in "extraordinary circumstances."

What happened next:

The announcement caused widespread concern among applicants, attorneys, and employers. However, the Department of Homeland Security later clarified that the policy is not a blanket change, and that individual immigration officers will decide on a case-by-case basis whether applicants must leave the U.S. to obtain a green card. A DHS spokesperson stated, "This was just a reminder to officers of their discretionary authority, which has always existed on a case-by-case basis." A senior White House official also described the memo as a "housekeeping" measure, not a new immigration strategy.

The bottom line:

The law itself did not change. Officers were already required to look at each case individually, and that will continue. Current USCIS guidance still on its website states that, generally speaking, if there are no negative factors in a case, denial of the benefit would be an inappropriate use of discretion.

What this means for you:

Every case is different, and your situation should be reviewed based on your own facts and history. That said, we believe that most of our clients who are eligible to get their green card without leaving the United States will likely continue to be able to do so, just as before. We are watching this situation closely and will share updates as things develop.

If you have questions about how this may affect your case, please contact our office. We are here to help!

Actualización Importante Sobre Solicitudes de Tarjeta de Residencia (Green Card):

El 22 de mayo de 2026, el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglés) publicó un memorando que generó mucha preocupación en la comunidad inmigrante.

Lo que dijo el memorando:

El memorando les indicó a los oficiales de inmigración que el "ajuste de estatus," o sea obtener una tarjeta de residencia (green card) desde dentro de los Estados Unidos — sin tener que viajar al extranjero — es un privilegio, no un derecho. El memorando les recuerda a los oficiales que este proceso es algo que el gobierno elige permitir caso por caso, no algo a lo que los solicitantes tienen derecho automáticamente. El anuncio público del gobierno sonó aún más alarmante al sugerir que esta opción solo estaría disponible en "circunstancias extraordinarias."

Lo que pasó después:

El anuncio causó una gran preocupación entre solicitantes, abogados y empleadores. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional aclaró después que la política no es un cambio general, y que los oficiales de inmigración seguirán decidiendo caso por caso si los solicitantes deben salir de los Estados Unidos para obtener su tarjeta de residencia. Un portavoz del DHS declaró: "Esto fue simplemente un recordatorio a los oficiales sobre su autoridad discrecional, la cual siempre ha existido y se aplica caso por caso." Un alto funcionario de la Casa Blanca también describió el memorando como una medida de "mantenimiento administrativo," no como una nueva estrategia de inmigración.

En resumen:

La ley en sí no cambió. Los oficiales ya estaban obligados a revisar cada caso de manera individual, y eso continuará siendo así. La guía oficial de USCIS aún establece que, en términos generales, si no hay factores negativos en un caso, no sería apropiado negar el beneficio.

Lo que esto significa para usted:

Cada caso es diferente, y su situación debe ser evaluada según sus propios hechos e historial. Dicho esto, creemos que la mayoría de nuestros clientes que califican para obtener su tarjeta de residencia sin salir de los Estados Unidos probablemente podrán seguir haciéndolo, tal como antes. Estamos siguiendo esta situación de cerca y le compartiremos actualizaciones conforme vayan surgiendo.

Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo esto puede afectar su caso, por favor comuníquese con nuestra oficina. ¡Estamos aquí para ayudarle!

⚠️ New USCIS Policy Alert — Don't Panic. Here's What You Need to Know (sigue en español):

USCIS just issued a new memo saying that applying for a green card from inside the U.S. will now be treated as "extraordinary relief" — meaning even people who qualify may face more scrutiny and could be denied. This sounds scary. But here's the truth:

✅ This is NOT a new law.
✅ It does NOT eliminate any green card category.
✅ We believe it goes beyond what the law allows — and a legal challenge is likely coming very fast.

We've seen this before. This administration has issued dramatic policy announcements that ultimately changed very little. Moves like this are designed to frighten people into leaving the U.S. voluntarily. We will have to wait and see what, if anything, actually changes about how USCIS adjudicates cases.

Do NOT leave the United States without speaking to an immigration attorney first. If you have questions about how this affects your case, contact Reed Immigration - (303) 957-0192.

⚠️ Alerta de Nueva Política de USCIS — No Entre en Pánico. Esto Es Lo Que Necesita Saber:

USCIS acaba de emitir un nuevo memorando que dice que solicitar la green card desde dentro de los EE.UU. será tratado como un beneficio "extraordinario" — lo que significa que incluso las personas que califican podrían enfrentar más escrutinio y ser negadas. Esto suena alarmante. Pero aquí está la verdad:

✅ Esto NO es una ley nueva.
✅ NO elimina ninguna categoría de green card.
✅ Creemos que va más allá de lo que la ley permite — y es muy probable que sea impugnada legalmente muy pronto.

Hemos visto esto antes. Esta administración ha emitido anuncios de política dramáticos que en la práctica han cambiado muy poco. Medidas como esta están diseñadas para asustar a las personas y que salgan de los EE.UU. voluntariamente. Tendremos que esperar para ver qué cambia, si es que algo cambia, en la forma en que USCIS decide los casos.

NO salga de los Estados Unidos sin hablar primero con un abogado de inmigración. Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo esto afecta su caso, comuníquese con Reed Immigration — (303) 957-0192.

📢 New 2025 Naturalization Civics Test:
USCIS is making changes to the civics portion of the naturalization test to make it more difficult. If you’re eligible and thinking of applying for U.S. citizenship, consider doing it now!

Here are the key changes to be aware of:

What’s New:
• There will be 128 civics questions to study (currently there are 100 questions).
• Applicants must now answer at least12 questions correctly (out of 20) to pass the test (rather than 6 out of 10 in the current version of the test).
• There are still special exceptions for applicants who are at least 65 years old and have been permanent residents for at least 20 years.

When does this go into effect?
• Anyone who files 30 days + after the new rule is published (likely tomorrow) will take the new, longer version of the civics test.
• Anyone who files less than 30 days after the new rule is published will take the current, shorter version of the test.

Ready to apply? Give us a call to schedule a consultation – (303) 957-0192.

⚠️ Important Travel Alert for Green Card Holders!

We’ve been receiving many questions from permanent residents about whether it’s safe to travel outside the U.S. right now.

In general, travel is safe if you are a green card holder, but you should consult with an immigration attorney if any of the following apply to you or you have other concerns:

➡️ You have spent more than 6 months outside the U.S. in any given year since obtaining your green card.
➡️ You are in removal or deportation proceedings.
➡️ You have a criminal history since becoming a permanent resident (other than minor traffic violations).
➡️ There’s any indication that the current Administration could view your presence in the U.S. as having “adverse foreign policy consequences.” This could include accusations of inciting violence or supporting terrorism. Recently, individuals involved in pro-Palestinian activities have been targeted.
➡️ You are a citizen of a country that may be included in a potential new travel ban. List of countries here: https://www.reuters.com/world/countries-considered-trumps-potential-new-travel-ban-2025-03-15/

⚠️ Be Cautious at the Border:
There are numerous reports of returning permanent residents being extensively questioned, having phones and devices seized and searched, and even coerced into signing documents to voluntarily abandon their green card.

‼️ DO NOT sign anything you do not fully understand. If you have any concerns about traveling, schedule a consultation with a trusted immigration attorney before leaving the U.S.

⚠️ ¡Alerta Importante para Residentes Permanentes!

Hemos recibido muchas preguntas de residentes permanentes sobre si es seguro viajar fuera de EE. UU. en este momento.

En general, viajar es seguro si tienes una green card, pero debes consultar con un abogado de inmigración si alguna de las siguientes situaciones aplica a tu caso:

➡️ Has pasado más de 6 meses fuera de EE. UU. en cualquier año desde que obtuviste tu residencia permanente.
➡️ Estás en proceso de deportación o remoción.
➡️ Tienes antecedentes penales desde que te convertiste en residente permanente (excepto violaciones menores de tránsito).
➡️ Existe alguna posibilidad de que la Administración actual pueda considerar tu presencia en EE. UU. como una “consecuencia adversa para la política exterior.” Esto podría incluir acusaciones de incitar violencia o apoyar el terrorismo. Recientemente, personas involucradas en actividades pro-palestinas han sido objeto de esta política.
➡️ Eres ciudadano de uno de los países que podría estar incluido en una posible nueva prohibición de viaje. Lista de países aquí: https://www.reuters.com/world/countries-considered-trumps-potential-new-travel-ban-2025-03-15/

⚠️ Precaución al regresar a EE. UU.:
Hay numerosos reportes de residentes permanentes que han sido cuestionados extensamente, sus teléfonos y dispositivos incautados y revisados, y hasta presionados para firmar documentos para abandonar voluntariamente su residencia permanente.

‼️ NO firmes nada que no entiendas completamente. Si tienes dudas sobre viajar, agenda una consulta con un abogado de inmigración de confianza antes de salir de EE. UU.
