Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

USCIS has issued a clarification regarding its recent policy memorandum 602-0199, reassuring applicants that the Adjustment of Status (AOS) application process remains unchanged. Applicants can continue to apply for AOS as they have in the past, despite concerns raised by the memo.

Key Details:

AOS applications can still be submitted as before, with no new restrictions.
It is recommended to include an extraordinary circumstances letter with your application.
This letter should explain the reasons for adjusting status in the U.S. rather than going through the consular process abroad.
Applicants are encouraged to outline strong points to support their case in the letter.

This clarification provides peace of mind for many immigrants navigating the AOS process during a time of uncertainty. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
