USCIS has issued new policy guidance concerning adjustment of status (AOS) to permanent residence, reaffirming the agency’s discretionary authority in adjudicating adjustment applications and placing renewed emphasis on consular immigrant visa processing abroad.
While adjustment of status remains an available pathway to permanent residence, the guidance will likely increase scrutiny in certain cases, require new evidentiary showings related to discretionary approval and influence workforce mobility planning and employee travel considerations.
Please join Fragomen and members of our U.S. Government Strategies and Compliance Group for a timely webcast discussing the practical implications of this development and what employers should be evaluating now.
During this session, we will cover:
- Key takeaways from the updated USCIS guidance
- Considerations for employment-based green card programs and pending cases
- Potential impacts on employee mobility, travel and workforce planning
- Consular processing considerations
- Practical guidance for HR, mobility and legal stakeholders
- Immediate steps employers can take to support their employees and prepare for potential operational impacts
Who should attend:
HR, global mobility, talent acquisition, legal and workforce planning professionals responsible for managing immigration programs and supporting foreign national employees.
