The USCIS has recently changed their procedures in adjudicating Adjustment of Status applications that are pending FBI check. In a Memo issued by the USCIS Associate Director for domestic operations, Mr. Michael Aytes announced that USCIS will begin processing pending applications and grant green cards to pending applicants. Because only about 1% of the applications actually come back with some negative information that would preclude one from adjust to a permanent resident, the USCIS will contact ICE and issue Notice to Appear for the applicant to appear in the immigration court for removal (deportation) proceedings.
This is a change in position in which applicants should take advantage of the new procedures. Please read my article on “Green Card (Adjustment of Status) Application Back-log: What Can I do ?“, for more details. If you and your loved ones need assistance in filing or adjudicating an adjustment of status application or any immigration matter, please contact our office at 281-210-0010 or submit your inquiry online.
