Debra Rodriguez, PC - Immigration Attorney

🚨URGENT IMMIGRATION UPDATE 🚨
USCIS recently announced a significant policy change that may impact many individuals applying for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485). Under this new guidance, USCIS is emphasizing that Adjustment of Status is a discretionary benefit and officers may apply increased scrutiny when determining whether an applicant should be allowed to complete the immigration process from within the United States.

What does this mean for applicants?

• USCIS officers may now ask why an applicant chose Adjustment of Status instead of consular processing abroad.
• Officers will evaluate both positive and negative factors when deciding whether to approve an application.
• Strong family ties, community involvement, good moral character, and contributions to the United States may help support a favorable exercise of discretion.
• The absence of negative factors alone may no longer be enough to secure approval.

If you have a pending Adjustment of Status application or are preparing to file, it is more important than ever to present a well-documented case that highlights the positive factors in your situation.

Every immigration case is unique. If you have questions about how this policy may affect you or your family, contact Debra Rodriguez P.C. for guidance.
