New USCIS Policy Limits Adjustment of Status

On May 22, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new policy memorandum, issued May 21, 2026, that addresses how officers should exercise discretion in adjustment of status (AOS) adjudications. USCIS said that it views immigrant visa processing at a U.S. consulate abroad as the default route to a green card for most people, with AOS applications filed inside the U.S. treated as a discretionary option.

What Has Changed

Historically, USCIS officers exercising discretion in adjustment cases followed longstanding agency and Board of Immigration Appeals precedent recognizing that favorable discretion ordinarily should be exercised where applicants establish eligibility and do not present significant adverse factors such as fraud, criminal conduct, or substantial immigration violations.

The new memorandum shifts this framework. It instructs officers to conduct a broader evaluation of each applicant’s immigration history. The memo does not mention any positive factors, such as compliance with immigration requirements, U.S. citizen family members, or gainful employment, and stresses that officers must consider negative factors, including any history of status violations or conduct inconsistent with the purpose of the applicant’s original nonimmigrant entry. The memorandum also signals that officers may consider why an applicant chose adjustment of status over consular processing as part of the discretionary analysis.

Overall, the new memo signals a major policy shift toward restrictive discretionary adjudication. USCIS specifically emphasized that:

• Temporary visas are intended for limited-duration stays tied to a specific purpose;
• Nonimmigrant status should not serve as a “first step” toward permanent residence; 
• Consular processing abroad should become the default path for obtaining immigrant visas; and
• USCIS resources should be focused instead on other agency priorities.

The memo’s title, and the accompanying press communications, characterize adjustment of status as an “extraordinary measure” rather than the routine process it has been for most applicants—although the memorandum itself does not go that far.

Potential Impact

Potentially affected groups include:

• Employment-based adjustment applicants;
• H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, and other temporary workers pursuing permanent residence;
• Family-based adjustment applicants;
• Self-petitioners, including EB-1 extraordinary ability and National Interest Waiver applicants;
• Dependent spouses and children; and
• Individuals relying on concurrent filing strategies.

The memorandum reiterates that pursuing adjustment of status is not inconsistent with maintaining lawful status in recognized dual intent classifications such as H-1B and L-1 categories. USCIS notes, however, that maintenance of lawful status alone does not necessarily warrant a favorable exercise of discretion in every case.

For employers, practical implications may include the need to reassess immigration strategies for sponsored employees, anticipate potential delays or increased Requests for Evidence in pending adjustment cases, and evaluate whether consular processing may be preferable for certain employees depending on their individual circumstances.

The new policy memorandum promises additional guidance on the application of the discretionary standard to specific categories of adjustment applicants. Questions regarding the scope and implementation of this policy may ultimately be addressed through future agency guidance or litigation.

Elimination of “D/S” May Affect F, J, and I Visa Holders

According to reports, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed rule ending the use of “duration of status” (D/S) for F students, J exchange visitors, and I foreign media representatives, issued in 2025, is likely to be finalized in the coming weeks. If finalized as proposed, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would issue an expiration date on Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, each time these nonimmigrants enter the United States. Under this rule, F/J/I visa holders would only be allowed to extend their time in the United States through an application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

This change would mark a significant shift from the current framework, under which many F, J, and I visa holders are admitted for D/S and may remain in the United States as long as they comply with the terms of the underlying program or classification. Once implemented, it will create new compliance obligations and timing concerns for visa holders, Designated School Officials (DSOs), program sponsors, universities, and employers that rely on F, J, or I nonimmigrants.

The most significant change is that F, J, and I nonimmigrants will have a fixed I-94 expiration date. Another noteworthy change is a proposed increase in USCIS oversight of student and exchange visitor programs related to changes in educational level. Universities, DSOs, and exchange program personnel would need to train staff and visa holders to identify changes that could affect status (e.g., a change in program, major, educational objective, or degree level).

Under D/S, many F and J visa holders generally do not begin accruing unlawful presence until USCIS or an immigration judge determines that a status violation occurred. Under fixed admission periods, individuals who remain beyond the I-94 expiration date could begin accruing unlawful presence and, depending on the length of the overstay, may become subject to the three- or ten-year bars. This risk is particularly acute for individuals who mistake the visa stamp expiration date for the controlling I-94 expiration date. The I-94 date, not the visa stamp date, controls authorized stay in the United States. The proposed shortening of grace periods from 60 to 30 days would further reduce flexibility for students and exchange visitors to depart, transfer, change status, or make other post-program arrangements.

The I-94 expiration date controls authorized stay in the United States, even if the visa stamp remains valid for a longer period. Individuals considering program changes, transfers, new educational levels, CPT, OPT strategy, extensions, or travel should consult with counsel or their DSO before taking action.

EB-2 India Quota Reached for FY26

The U.S. Department of State announced on May 22, 2026, that all available immigrant visa numbers in the EB-2 category for India have been issued for fiscal year 2026. As a result, U.S. embassies and consulates are unable to issue additional EB-2 immigrant visas to Indian nationals until the start of the new fiscal year on October 1, 2026.

The suspension reflects the annual per-country numerical limits established under U.S. immigration law and does not affect the underlying eligibility of approved applicants. Additional visa numbers are expected to become available at the start of fiscal year 2027.

Applicants with approved EB-2 cases who are awaiting immigrant visa issuance may experience delays until new visa numbers become available.

USCIS Ordered to Resume Processing for Certain ‘Restricted’ Countries’ Applicants

On April 30, 2026, a federal court in Massachusetts issued a significant ruling ordering the U.S. government to lift its blanket hold on certain U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) immigration applications for approximately 200 plaintiffs from specific countries. The court found that two key USCIS policies, which have been responsible for freezing cases for months, are likely unlawful. While this marks an important legal victory, the decision currently applies only to the individuals involved in the case. Thousands of other applicants remain subject to these policies and may need to take additional steps to obtain relief.

The court found that:

• USCIS likely does not have the authority to freeze applications indefinitely based on nationality;
• Using nationality as a negative factor is likely inconsistent with immigration law;
• The government did not follow proper rulemaking procedures before implementing these policies; and
• Applicants suffered real and immediate harm, including:
  • Loss of work authorization
  • Disruption of lawful status
  • Financial and personal hardship

The decision signals the type of relief other litigants may be able to pursue through similar lawsuits. The court held that:

• USCIS must resume processing applications for certain plaintiffs;
• USCIS must stop applying these policies to those individuals; and
• The court will determine whether additional plaintiffs are also entitled to relief.

The affected countries include Afghanistan, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burma (Myanmar), Burundi, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo), Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gabon, The Gambia, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Palestinian Authority (those using P.A.-issued documents), Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Enhanced Security Vetting Causes Adjudications Pause, Coinciding With New RFE Trends

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has begun implementing enhanced security vetting procedures that are expected to delay certain pending immigration benefit adjudications. In addition, more types of petitions and applications will require fingerprint-based background checks.

These changes follow Executive Order 14385, issued on February 6, 2026, which directs the Attorney General to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with access to criminal history record information, maintained by the Department of Justice for DHS screening and vetting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

USCIS has not yet issued detailed public guidance explaining how the new process will be applied across all case types, but recent internal guidance and public reporting indicate that, effective April 27, 2026, USCIS began receiving enhanced criminal history record information for fingerprint-based background checks submitted through the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) “Next Generation Identification (NGI)” system. According to reporting on the internal guidance, USCIS officers have been directed not to approve certain pending cases until the enhanced checks have been completed, and to resubmit fingerprint-based screenings for any application or petition where the FBI information was received before April 27, 2026.

The most immediate impact appears to be on pending applications and petitions that require fingerprint-based background checks. These commonly include adjustment of status, naturalization, asylum-related filings, and certain employment authorization applications. The new process has coincided with emerging trends in requests for evidence involving biometrics in certain employment-based matters.

USCIS Lifts Adjudication Hold for Foreign Physicians

According to reports, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has quietly updated its enhanced screening and vetting policy to lift the adjudication hold for foreign national physicians. The update applies only to cases pending or filed with USCIS and does not affect visa applications processed abroad through the Department of State.

Medical organizations lobbied for a national interest exemption from the hold, outlining the serious public health consequences and noting that 23% of licensed physicians in the United States are foreign-trained and 64% of foreign-trained physicians practice in medically underserved areas or health professional shortage areas. The prolonged adjudication hold has resulted in physicians losing their status or work authorization, thereby rendering them unable to provide much-needed medical services to U.S. patients.

Other vetting measures remain in effect. Employers and physicians with pending cases should monitor their case status online for updates or requests for evidence and prepare for potential biometrics appointments or re-interviews.

USCIS Publishes 60-Day Notice of Revisions to E-Verify Program

On May 13, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a 60-day notice of revisions to the E-Verify program. The notice does not clearly identify or summarize the specific revisions being proposed, although USCIS states that the information collection instrument, instructions, and additional information may be accessed through Regulations.gov under docket number USCIS-2007-0023.

Comments will be accepted until July 13, 2026.

Visa Bulletin for June Notes High Demand in Several Employment-Based Categories

The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for June 2026 includes several updates on the effects on visa number availability of high demand in several employment-based green card categories:

• High demand and number use by individuals chargeable to India in the EB-1 and EB-2 visa categories have made it necessary to retrogress the final action dates to hold number use within the fiscal year 2026 annual limit. Further retrogressions, or making the categories “unavailable,” may be necessary in the coming months if India’s pro-rated limits in the EB-1 or EB-2 categories are reached before the fiscal year ends, the bulletin states.
• Sufficient demand and increased number use by individuals chargeable to China in the EB-2 visa category may make it necessary to retrogress the final action date or make the category “unavailable” in the coming months.
• Similar alerts about possible retrogression or unavailability in the coming months are included for visa availability in the EB-3 category for the Philippines and in the EB-5 unreserved category for India.

DOS Adds to Countries on Visa Bond List, Provides Info on Waivers for Certain World Cup Participants

On May 13, 2026, the Department of State published a notice adding to its list of countries subject to visa bonds. There are now 50 countries on the list. DOS also provided information about waivers for individuals traveling to the United States for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The visa bond requirement will be waived for:

• Athletes and team members (including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives) who are nationals of competing countries and demonstrate that they meet all requirements for the visa.
• Nationals of competing countries who purchased FIFA World Cup tickets by April 15, 2026, and opted in to the FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System (PASS) through the FIFA website, and who demonstrate that they are otherwise fully eligible for a U.S. visitor visa.

DOS noted that “rigorous screening and vetting” will be conducted, as with every visa application.

Hong Kong: Advance Filing Introduced for Extension Applications

Hong Kong has expanded advanced filing eligibility for extension-of-stay applications under several employment and talent admission schemes. Eligible applicants and their dependents may now submit extension applications up to three months before the expiry of their current limit of stay.

The policy applies across a range of employment, talent, investment, graduate, and labor importation schemes administered by the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

The earlier filing window gives applicants additional time to prepare renewal submissions and supporting documentation before their authorized stay expires.

France: Minimum Wage Increase Now in Effect

France implemented a 2.41% increase to the national minimum wage effective June 1, 2026, following an automatic adjustment tied to inflation.

France has officially increased the statutory minimum wage, known as the SMIC, effective June 1, 2026. The adjustment raises the gross hourly minimum wage from €12.02 to €12.31 and increases the gross monthly salary for full-time employees to €1,867.02. According to the French government, the increase was automatically triggered under national labor regulations after inflation exceeded the legal threshold requiring a midyear wage review.

The increase is expected to affect employers across a broad range of industries, including companies employing foreign nationals whose immigration categories rely on salary thresholds linked to the SMIC. Employers may need to review compensation structures, payroll practices, and employment agreements to ensure continued compliance with French labor and immigration requirements. The measure also reflects the government’s continued focus on preserving purchasing power amid rising living costs and inflationary pressure. Businesses operating in France should confirm that existing and future salary levels align with the revised minimum wage requirements.

Poland: New Digital Platform Now Required for Residence Permits

Poland has introduced a mandatory online system for most residence permit applications through the new MOS (Case Handling Module) portal, replacing in-person filing for many applicants. As of April 27, 2026, applications for temporary, permanent residence, and long-term EU resident permits must be submitted exclusively electronically.

Under the new process, applicants must create online accounts and sign applications digitally, while employer-related appendices must also include electronic signatures in order for the filing to be accepted. Paper applications received after the transition date are no longer accepted, even if mailed before the change took effect. Employers and applicants should prepare for adjustments during the transition period and review internal processes to ensure filings are completed correctly.

Romania: New Centralized Work Permit Platform Now in Effect

Romania has implemented a unified digital work permit system designed to centralize immigration processing and simplify procedures for foreign workers and sponsoring employers.

Romania has launched a new centralized online platform for work permits and immigration-related filings, marking a significant modernization of the country’s employment-based immigration system. The platform is intended to consolidate multiple administrative procedures into a single digital process, allowing employers and foreign nationals to submit documentation, monitor application progress, and interact with authorities electronically. Romanian authorities also introduced broader procedural reforms intended to improve coordination between immigration and labor agencies while reducing administrative delays.

The new system is expected to streamline the hiring process for foreign workers at a time when Romania continues to experience labor shortages across several industries, including construction, manufacturing, and transportation. Employers may benefit from improved transparency, more consistent processing procedures, and reduced reliance on in-person appointments and paper submissions. Foreign nationals may also experience greater visibility into application status and documentation requirements. Companies sponsoring foreign employees in Romania should review the operational changes carefully and update internal immigration procedures to align with the new platform requirements and filing processes.

Sweden: Research and Doctoral Migration Rules Eased Amid Stricter Student Permit Controls

Sweden has proposed legislative changes to provide greater flexibility for foreign researchers and doctoral students while introducing stricter oversight measures for residence permits issued for studies. The proposal was presented by the Swedish government on February 20, 2026, and the changes are expected to enter into force on June 11, 2026.

Under the proposal, doctoral students and researchers would receive greater flexibility to remain and work in Sweden following the completion of their studies or research activities. The government also plans to strengthen controls related to residence permits granted for studies.

The proposed measures include enhanced monitoring and reporting obligations for educational institutions, as well as new rules allowing authorities to revoke residence permits where permit conditions are not met.

United Arab Emirates: Eligibility Thresholds Reduced for Dubai Investor Residence Program

Dubai authorities have revised the eligibility framework for the emirate’s two-year property investor residence visa, significantly expanding access for foreign nationals seeking residence through real estate ownership. Under the updated rules, sole owners of completed residential property may now qualify for residence regardless of the property’s value. Joint owners may also qualify, provided each owner’s share meets the revised minimum threshold. The changes are expected to increase participation in Dubai’s investor residence program by opening eligibility to a broader segment of buyers, including first-time investors and individuals purchasing lower-value residential units.

Mexico: Immigration Application Delays Impact Employers and Foreign Nationals

Mexico is continuing to experience immigration processing delays with the National Immigration Institute (INM), leading to longer timelines for work authorization, residence applications, and related filings. Increased application volumes and ongoing administrative backlogs are contributing to slower processing across several jurisdictions, impacting both new applications and renewals.

Processes Affected:

• Temporary and permanent residence applications
• Work authorization filings and renewals
• Appointment scheduling and document issuance
• Immigration card collection and status updates

As a result, employers and foreign nationals may face challenges coordinating onboarding, travel, and assignment start dates.

Chile: Accelerated Business Visa Processing Announced for Indian Nationals

Chile’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced an expedited business visa for Indian nationals who will conduct business in Chile. In addition to accelerated processing, the visa will be valid for two years and allow multiple entries into the country for up to 90 days at a time. Chile announced this program to attract greater investment and trade between the two nations. India has currently invested around $643 million in Chilean business ventures, and trade between the two has exceeded $5.6 billion.

Paraguay: Expanded Permanent Residence Opportunities Introduced for Investors

Paraguay has introduced the Paraguay Investor Pass, a new program designed to facilitate permanent residence for qualifying foreign investors. The initiative was launched jointly by Paraguay’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the National Directorate of Migration in May 2026.

Under the program, eligible foreign nationals who commit to approved investments in Paraguay may access a facilitated process for permanent residence. The government indicated the program is intended to attract foreign investment, promote economic development, and encourage long-term investment in Paraguay. According to the government, the program also aims to streamline coordination between immigration and investment authorities for foreign investors seeking residence in Paraguay.
