In a recent episode of U.S. Immigrant Journey, Attorney Edwin Fogam discussed the implications of the Trump visa restrictions set to take effect in January 2026. These restrictions are causing confusion among families regarding visa processing and petition filing, particularly concerning family-based immigration.
Key Details:
- Visa restrictions will impact certain family-based immigration categories starting January 2026.
- Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are less affected compared to those in family preference categories.
- Consular processing for visas abroad will be impacted, while adjustment of status applications within the U.S. remain unaffected.
- USCIS continues to accept and process petitions despite the upcoming restrictions.
- Strategic planning for immigration cases is crucial in light of these changes.
