USCIS has released new guidance indicating that Adjustment of Status (green card processing within the U.S.) will now be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. This update was highlighted in a recent Business Insider report, which included comments from USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler.
Key Details:
- Adjustment of Status is now treated as a discretionary benefit.
- Applications that provide an economic benefit or are in the national interest may still proceed.
- USCIS will evaluate exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
- Some applicants may be directed to pursue consular processing abroad instead.
This change could significantly impact many individuals seeking to adjust their status in the U.S., making it essential for applicants to understand the new criteria.
