The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a new policy memo that could significantly affect foreign nationals, particularly EB-5 investors, seeking permanent residency in the United States. Under this policy, most applicants may no longer be able to complete the Adjustment of Status process while remaining in the U.S., potentially requiring them to process their Green Card applications through consular processing abroad.
Key Details:
- New policy memo announced by USCIS on [insert date].
- Most applicants must now use consular processing instead of Adjustment of Status.
- EB-5 investors currently in the U.S. on temporary visas may face significant changes.
- Potential impacts include longer processing timelines and increased uncertainty for families.
This policy shift could lead to complications for international travel and additional planning challenges for students, entrepreneurs, and professionals currently residing in the U.S. Investors are urged to consider the implications of this change on their immigration strategies.
