1. Does the memo released by USCIS on Friday, May 22, 2026, stop people who are otherwise eligible for adjustment of status from applying for their Green Card from within the U.S.?

No. The memo does not change the law, statutory eligibility criteria, or stop USCIS from processing and approving I-485, Application to Adjust Status petitions. People who are eligible for adjustment of status should speak with an experienced Immigration Attorney to discuss their case. Adjudications by USCIS will continue to be made on a case-by-case basis.

We wanted to find a new way to engage our reader base. Every other Friday, we will post the ten (10) best/most frequently asked questions received during the week from our h1bvisalawyerblog, Facebook, and Twitter readers. We will answer those questions and provide the Q&A on our H-1B Visa Lawyer Blog.
