The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reopening and recalendaring many older immigration cases, including those that were previously administratively closed or dismissed. This update allows individuals who have married a U.S. citizen or have a pending or approved family-based petition to potentially receive continuances from judges while USCIS processes their I-130 petitions, enabling them to pursue adjustment of status in Immigration Court.
