On May 22, 2026, USCIS announced a new policy memorandum regarding Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) cases. The memo states that Adjustment of Status is considered an “extraordinary” form of relief and that USCIS officers should exercise more discretion when reviewing these applications.

What does this mean?
USCIS is signaling a preference for consular processing (applying abroad through a U.S. embassy/consulate) instead of allowing applicants to complete the green card process inside the United States.

Officers may now place greater scrutiny on:
• Immigration history
• Visa intent at entry
• Overstays or status violations
• Unauthorized employment

The memo does not eliminate Adjustment of Status, and it does not automatically deny pending or future I-485 applications. However, it could lead to stricter adjudications and more Requests for Evidence or denials in certain cases.

If you currently have a pending Adjustment of Status case or are considering filing, it is more important than ever to make sure your case is properly prepared and documented. Every case is different. Consult with a qualified immigration attorney to evaluate your specific situation.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a new policy memo reiterating the fact that, consistent with long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions, aliens seeking adjustment of status must do so through consular processing via the Department of State outside of the....

DACA UPDATE

On September 29, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) filed a brief detailing USCIS’s plan to implement Judge Hanen’s final ruling on DACA.

The following is a summary of how this will impact Initial Requests for DACA & Renewals.

Initial Requests: USCIS will adjudicate all initial DACA requests. If the application is approved, employment authorization (EAD) will be granted to applicants whose most recent address is outside Texas. Applicants residing in Texas may be approved for deferred action (protection against deportation) but will have their EAD applications rejected and fees refunded.

Renewals: Until the final ruling is made, USCIS will continue to adjudicate all renewal requests, including DACA renewals in Texas. Once the final decision is made and the stay is lifted, USCIS will deny any requests for EADs for Texas residents.

Your Residence Matters: If you move to Texas, you could lose your EAD; if you move out of Texas, you may be able to regain it.

Please stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

If you have questions about how this can impact your DACA status and what steps you can take moving forward, please contact our office at (469) 586-4030 or send us a message to schedule your DACA consultation.
