USCIS has announced a significant policy change regarding Adjustment of Status (AOS) applications, stating that such applications may now only be granted in “extraordinary circumstances.” This announcement marks a potential shift towards increased reliance on consular processing for immigrants seeking to adjust their status within the United States.
Key Details:
- New policy effective immediately as of the announcement date.
- AOS applications will be evaluated under stricter criteria.
- The change may lead to more applicants needing to process their visas through U.S. consulates abroad.
- This policy aims to streamline immigration processing and reduce backlogs.
This policy change could significantly impact many immigrants currently seeking to adjust their status in the U.S., requiring them to consider consular processing as an alternative. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
