USCIS has clarified that applicants can continue to file Form I-485 for Adjustment of Status (AOS) in the United States, despite initial concerns raised by a policy memorandum issued on May 22. The Department of Homeland Security emphasized that the policy will not hinder lawful foreign nationals from obtaining green cards, particularly those who contribute to the U.S. economy.
Key Details:
- Recent policy clarification issued by DHS reassures applicants about AOS filing.
- USCIS officers are reportedly asking more detailed questions during adjustment interviews.
- Applicants may face additional Requests for Evidence (RFEs) related to their AOS applications.
- Maintaining lawful immigration status is crucial during the AOS process.
This clarification is significant for many immigrants seeking to adjust their status within the U.S., as they can still pursue their applications while being prepared for increased scrutiny. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
