USCIS’s recent memo regarding dual-intent visa categories, specifically H-1B and L-1 applicants, has sparked concerns among immigration attorneys. While the memo states that filing for Adjustment of Status (AOS) does not conflict with maintaining dual-intent status, experts warn that this may not guarantee a favorable outcome for applicants.
Key Details:
- The memo acknowledges that filing for AOS is consistent with dual-intent nonimmigrant status.
- Applicants must still pay a fee of $1,440 to file for AOS.
- Status in a dual-intent visa category alone may not suffice for favorable discretion under the new approach.
- Legal experts caution that the memo does not eliminate potential challenges for applicants seeking adjustment.
