USCIS recently issued announcements regarding the Adjustment of Status (AOS) application process, leading to significant confusion among applicants and immigration officers. Initially, a memo released on May 22 suggested that AOS was discretionary and might require consular processing, which prompted backlash from the immigration community. However, on May 29, USCIS clarified that the AOS procedure remains intact, and officers were simply reminded of its discretionary nature. The impact of these announcements on ongoing cases remains uncertain.
