Burke Brown III, managing attorney at Polaris Law Group, recently addressed concerns regarding an unsigned memo that has caused confusion about the adjustment of status (AOS) process. In his analysis, Brown emphasized that AOS is not ‘dead’ and criticized the memo’s legal foundation as weak, arguing that it misinterprets existing law.
Key Details:
- The memo quotes two BIA cases from the 1970s but lacks a solid legal basis.
- Brown asserts that the executive cannot alter laws, specifically section 245(a), to impose new standards.
- He plans to challenge the memo in federal court to protect AOS applicants.
- Brown encourages AOS filers to remain calm and informed as the situation develops.
