What the New USCIS Policy Memo Means for Your Green Card Application
USCIS has changed its policy on green card applications. It's no longer just about meeting the requirements, but also about demonstrating additional factors. These factors include:
- good moral character: the applicant must demonstrate that they are a person of good moral character and do not pose a threat to national security.
- public charge: the applicant must not be a public charge, meaning they must not be a burden on the state.
- family ties: the applicant must demonstrate that they have strong family ties in the US.
Who Will Be Affected by the New Policy
The new USCIS policy may impact green card applications from the following categories:
- family-based immigrants: applicants who have applied for a green card based on family ties.
- employment-based immigrants: applicants who have applied for a green card based on a job offer in the US.
How to Strengthen Your Application
To strengthen your green card application, you can:
- provide additional documentation: provide additional documents that support your family ties, good moral character, and lack of public charge.
- hire an attorney: hire an attorney who specializes in immigration law and can help you prepare your application.
