Immigration updates
A May 21, 2026 USCIS policy memo reclassifies I-485 adjustment of status as 'extraordinary relief,' giving officers broad discretion to deny filings and pushing applicants toward consular processing abroad.
A Rhode Island federal court vacated three USCIS policy directives that caused processing delays for employment-based petitions, while the $100,000 H-1B fee remains in legal limbo pending a First Circuit appeal.
A federal court vacated the $100,000 H-1B fee on June 8, 2026, ruling it an unlawful tax, but immediately stayed its own decision. The fee remains enforceable while the government's First Circuit appeal proceeds.

Common questions from this week's immigration news
On June 5, 2026, a Rhode Island federal court struck down four USCIS internal policies that had frozen immigration benefit adjudications for nationals of certain travel-ban countries. The court found those policies violated the Administrative Procedure Act because they were implemented through internal memos rather than formal rulemaking. If your case was affected by nationality-based holds or re-review mandates, USCIS is currently required to process your case without applying those restrictions.
Yes — for now. USCIS confirmed it will no longer enforce Policy Memos 601-0192, 602-0194, and 2025-23 while it appeals to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. This means adjustment of status filings, EAD applications, and naturalization cases must currently be adjudicated without the frozen policies in effect. However, the situation remains fluid and could change depending on whether the appeals court grants a stay.
If the First Circuit overturns the district court ruling, USCIS could reinstate the suspended policies, which could affect pending adjustment of status cases and EAD applications. Applicants whose cases are currently moving forward under the court order should monitor this litigation closely. The First Circuit's decision is expected to be one of the most significant immigration administrative law rulings of 2026.
