🚨 Immigration News Update 🚨
There are reports coming out of Washington today suggesting that the administration may begin pushing more green card applicants toward consular processing abroad instead of completing Adjustment of Status inside the United States.
At this time, there is NO official rule stating that everyone with a pending Form I-485 must leave the U.S. to process their green card overseas.
✅ If you already filed Adjustment of Status properly, your case generally remains eligible to continue processing inside the United States.
✅ USCIS has NOT announced a blanket requirement for all pending applicants to depart the country.
✅ Marriage-based applicants who entered lawfully and filed through a U.S. citizen spouse are still in a stronger legal position under current immigration law.
However, immigration attorneys are closely monitoring whether future policy changes could:
• increase denials,
• favor consular processing in certain cases,
• or affect specific categories of applicants.
⚠️ Important: Social media reports are spreading quickly, but no formal USCIS policy change requiring all adjustment applicants to leave the U.S. has been officially published at this time.
Always verify immigration news through official USCIS and Department of State announcements before making decisions about your case.
