📢 New Blog: USCIS Policy Update on Adjustment of Status

USCIS recently announced a policy update regarding adjustment of status — the process that allows certain individuals to apply for a green card from inside the United States.

At a high level, USCIS is emphasizing that adjustment of status is discretionary and may be treated as an “extraordinary” form of relief in many cases. This does not mean every adjustment case will be denied, but it may mean these cases require more careful review and preparation.

✅ If you or a loved one has a pending adjustment of status application, or is considering applying for a green card from inside the United States, it is important to understand how this policy may affect your case. If you have questions, feel free to contact Marcus Law Firm to schedule a consultation.

📢 Nuevo Blog: Actualización de USCIS Sobre el Ajuste de Estatus

USCIS anunció recientemente una actualización de política relacionada con el ajuste de estatus — el proceso que permite que ciertas personas soliciten la residencia permanente desde dentro de los Estados Unidos.

En términos generales, USCIS está enfatizando que el ajuste de estatus es discrecional y que, en muchos casos, puede considerarse una forma “extraordinaria” de alivio migratorio. Esto no significa que todos los casos de ajuste serán negados, pero sí puede significar que estos casos requieran una revisión y preparación más cuidadosa.

✅ Si usted o un ser querido tiene una solicitud de ajuste de estatus pendiente, o está considerando solicitar la residencia permanente desde dentro de los Estados Unidos, es importante entender cómo esta política podría afectar su caso. Si tiene preguntas, no dude en comunicarse con Marcus Law Firm para programar una consulta.

🚨 Immigration Appeals Just Changed — In a Big Way

Beginning March 9, 2026, a new federal rule will fundamentally reshape how immigration appeals are handled before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

This is not just a deadline adjustment. It is a structural change to how appeals work.

Among the most significant shifts:

• The appeal deadline in most cases is now 10 days instead of 30
• Appeals will no longer move forward automatically
• If the Board does not vote to accept an appeal, it will be dismissed within 15 days
• Full review will occur only in cases the Board affirmatively selects

For years, appeals often remained pending for many months — sometimes over a year or more. Under this new system, many cases may be resolved within weeks.

If you or a loved one is in immigration court — or may need to appeal — early planning is now more important than ever.

We’ve published a detailed breakdown (in English and Spanish) explaining what this means and how it may impact families.

As always, our goal is to provide clarity — not panic — and help families navigate change strategically.

🚨 Las Apelaciones de Inmigración Han Cambiado — De Forma Significativa

A partir del 9 de marzo de 2026, una nueva regla federal reestructurará profundamente la manera en que se manejan las apelaciones ante la Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración (BIA).

No se trata solo de un cambio en plazos. Es un cambio estructural en el proceso de apelación.

Entre los cambios más importantes:

• El plazo para apelar en la mayoría de los casos ahora es de 10 días en lugar de 30
• Las apelaciones ya no avanzarán automáticamente
• Si la Junta no vota para aceptar una apelación, será desestimada dentro de 15 días
• Solo los casos seleccionados afirmativamente por la Junta recibirán revisión completa

Durante años, las apelaciones podían tardar muchos meses — e incluso más de un año. Bajo este nuevo sistema, muchos casos podrían resolverse en cuestión de semanas.

Si usted o un ser querido está en corte de inmigración — o podría necesitar presentar una apelación — la planificación anticipada ahora es más importante que nunca.

Publicamos un análisis detallado (en inglés y español) explicando qué significan estos cambios.

Nuestro objetivo es brindar claridad — no crear alarma — y ayudar a las familias a navegar estos cambios con estrategia.

On Friday, we had the opportunity to visit ASU Law to interview candidates for our upcoming summer internship at Marcus Law Firm.

We received strong interest in the position, with 23 applicants overall, and selected a small group for interviews. Every candidate we met with was impressive—thoughtful, prepared, and genuinely interested in immigration law and advocacy.

We’re grateful to ASU Law for cultivating such talented students and appreciate the time and effort each applicant put into the process. We’re currently continuing our internal discussions and look forward to welcoming a summer intern (or interns) soon.

Experiences like this are a great reminder of the strength of the next generation of attorneys and the importance of mentorship in our profession.
