EB-1A or EB-2 NIW applicants: Don’t count on an RFE to save your case.

A new USCIS policy issued on August 5, 2026, gives officers greater discretion to deny petitions without first issuing an RFE or NOID—and applicants may receive significantly less time to respond when an RFE is issued.

For evidence-heavy cases like EB-1A and EB-2 NIW, this can make a major difference. The maximum regulatory RFE response period remains 84 days, but USCIS may set a shorter deadline, with some practitioners already seeing response periods of around 30 days.

What does this mean for your petition strategy? Your strongest case may need to be built and presented from day one. Join Karim Jivani and see what EB-1A and NIW applicants should know about the August 5 policy change—and how to prepare for a more demanding adjudication process.

New Public Charge Rule Takes Effect September 18

A major change is coming to Form I-485. Beginning September 18, 2026, the new public charge rule takes effect—and USCIS will ask adjustment applicants a much broader question about their history of receiving means-tested public benefits.

A “yes” answer does not automatically mean an I-485 will be denied. But applicants will need to understand what must be disclosed, which benefits may be considered, and how the timing of those benefits affects the public charge analysis. Join Rebecca Chen in todays article and see what applicants need to know before the new rule takes effect.

EB-2 NIW RFE or Denial? Big Tech Employees May Need to Rethink “National Importance.”

Working for Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, or another major tech company doesn’t automatically establish national importance for an EB-2 NIW. USCIS may focus on whether the proposed endeavor has broader implications beyond the employer’s business.

An RFE or denial isn’t necessarily the end of the road. Tag along with newly publishing Staff Attorney Kasey Shell to see how Big Tech professionals can strengthen their national importance argument, respond to an RFE, or consider refiling after a denial.

Federal Judge Vacates 75-Country Immigrant Visa Ban

A federal judge has struck down the State Department’s policy suspending immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries. The August 21, 2026 ruling restores individualized visa adjudication and could provide relief for applicants whose cases were refused solely because of the policy. However, the decision does not guarantee immediate visa approval. Other inadmissibility grounds, administrative processing, or separate restrictions may still apply. Join Adena Bowman in todays article and see what applicants and employers should know about the ruling and next steps.
