USCIS’s New Adjustment of Status Policy: What Employers and Applicants Need to Know

June 11 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Join us for an emergency webinar to discuss the Trump Administration’s new USCIS policy memorandum released on May 21, 2026, which increases discretionary review of Adjustment of Status applications and may significantly impact employment-based and family-based green card applicants.

Join Managing Partner David Zaritzky Brown as he breaks down this major policy shift in plain language, discusses its potential impact on pending and future cases, and outlines practical planning considerations to protect your workforce. David will cover:

  • Stricter Review: Why USCIS now views Adjustment of Status as a discretionary benefit, not an entitlement
  • Status Violations: How overstays, status gaps, and unauthorized work may carry greater consequences
  • Positive Factors: Why having “no bad facts” may not be enough under the new framework
  • Heightened Scrutiny: What H-1B, L-1, and parole-based applicants should expect
  • Denials and Next Steps: How new written denial requirements may impact case strategy

We invite all HR professionals, foreign national employees, and individuals with pending or anticipated applications to join us for these important updates. After the presentation, David will answer questions live and provide practical, actionable compliance advice so you can confidently navigate these new hurdles and reduce filing risks in the coming weeks.
