Noticia importante que necesitan saber.
In this Spanish‑language briefing, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. explains a recent announcement by the USCIS director that the United States will end the ability for certain non‑citizens who entered the country on a visa to obtain lawful permanent residence through adjustment of status (AOS). She describes the change as targeting a perceived “loophole” that allows visa‑holders—such as spouses of U.S. citizens—to adjust status without leaving the country for consular processing. Rivas notes that the policy shift appears intended to force these individuals to exit the U.S. for a consular interview, thereby limiting the number of immigrants who can regularize their status. She highlights the uncertainty surrounding how the rule will apply to pending AOS applications versus new filings, anticipates forthcoming litigation, and commits to providing updates as more information becomes available. The overall tone is informative yet critical, emphasizing concern for immigrant rights.
