USCIS has issued a new policy memo that may complicate the approval process for Form I-485, which is used for adjustment of status in the United States. This memo redefines the adjustment of status as a discretionary act, potentially leading to an increase in Requests for Evidence (RFEs), denials, and processing delays.
Key Details:
- New policy treats adjustment of status as discretionary “administrative grace.”
- Anticipated increase in RFEs and denials for Form I-485 applications.
- Applicants may face longer processing times due to the new guidance.
- The memo reflects a shift in how USCIS evaluates adjustment of status requests.
This change could significantly impact immigrants seeking to adjust their status, making the process more challenging. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
