USCIS has officially eliminated the Adjustment of Status process for individuals seeking to change their immigration status in the United States. This policy change means that immigrants will now be required to undergo consular processing exclusively, effective immediately. Current holders of Advanced Parole and Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will not be affected by this change.

Key Details:

Policy Change: Adjustment of Status process has been removed.
New Requirement: Immigrants must now utilize consular processing for status changes.
Current Holders: Existing Advanced Parole and EAD holders will remain unaffected.
Effective Date: The change is effective immediately.

This significant shift in policy will impact many immigrants who were previously able to adjust their status within the U.S., now requiring them to process their applications through U.S. consulates abroad.
