USCIS has announced a significant policy change regarding the adjustment of green cards, effective immediately. Under the new guidelines, most applicants currently residing in the United States will now be required to complete consular processing abroad, unless they can prove “extraordinary circumstances.” This marks a departure from the previous practice that allowed many applicants to finalize their green card applications entirely within the U.S.
Key Details:
- New requirement: Most applicants must complete consular processing abroad.
- Exceptions: Applicants can qualify for an exception by demonstrating extraordinary circumstances.
- Impact: The change may significantly affect individuals with connections to both the U.S. and Israel.
- Monitoring: Decker, Pex & Co is actively tracking developments in U.S. immigration law to assist clients.
This policy shift may create challenges for many immigrants navigating the green card process. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
