URGENT UPDATE

USCIS has issued a directive putting an immediate hold on all pending immigration benefit requests for individuals who are citizens of any of the 19 countries listed under the June 2025 travel ban.

The agency is also re-reviewing previously approved immigration benefits for individuals from those countries who entered the U.S. on or after January 20, 2021.

🚨 URGENT EAD UPDATE 🚨
Effective October 30, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially ended the automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for certain renewal applicants.

🔹 If your EAD renewal is filed on or after October 30, you will no longer receive an automatic 180-day extension while your renewal is pending.
🔹 This change impacts many categories — including H-4 spouses and Adjustment of Status applicants.
🔹 Renew early! USCIS allows filing up to 180 days before your current EAD expires. Without an automatic extension, your ability to work may lapse if the new card isn’t approved in time.

💡 Tip for Employers & Applicants:
Start renewal preparations well in advance and track USCIS processing times closely to avoid employment interruptions. Applicants should apply 180 days before their current EAD expires

🛑 Important Update from U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) 🛑
📆 Effective October 28, 2025 — USCIS will no longer accept checks or money orders for application or petition filing fees.

➡️ From that date forward, payments must be made electronically via:
• Credit or debit card using Form G-1450
• ACH debit (bank account) using Form G-1650

🔍 If you don’t have a U.S. bank account, a prepaid credit card may be used via Form G-1450.

🔍 In limited instances, benefit requestors and third-party payors may be exempt from submitting electronic payments with their application, petition, or request. See Form G-1651, Exemption for Paper Fee Payment, for a list of exemptions.

📌 Tip: If you’re preparing to file or currently filing, check your payment method now to avoid delays or rejections.

USCIS Unveils First Changes to Naturalization Test in Multi-Step Overhaul of American Citizenship Standards -
https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-unveils-first-changes-to-naturalization-test-in-multi-step-overhaul-of-american-citizenship?fbclid=IwY2xjawM_foVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjei14mZ_LImr2qHi9z0pEXX_MWV5Qwq3wbMF_9-M4zq5RIdLNeLXv4gf4yK_aem_ZQMT2_TXd2Lln2poMhWrDA

The updated version will be administered on or after October 20, 2025. The updated Civics Test will consist of 20 oral questions from the list of 128 questions. Answering 12 questions correctly will result in passing the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test. Answering 9 of the 20 questions incorrectly will result in a test failure.
Officers administering the test will stop asking questions once 12 have been answered correctly, or 9 incorrectly.

USCIS UPDATE ON NATURALIZATION REQUIREMENTS:
As of August 15, 2025, the “Good Moral Character” requirement for naturalization has expanded. Officers will now look beyond criminal history to your whole record, including:

⭐ Volunteering & community service
📚 Education & progress
❤️ Family caregiving
💵 Financial responsibility (taxes, steady work)

This gives applicants more ways to show their strengths—but also more room for subjective decisions.

At Nimer Law LLC, we help clients prepare strong evidence and highlight what makes their case compelling. If you’re planning to apply for U.S. citizenship, let’s make sure you’re ready under this new standard.
