USCIS Adjustment of Status Interviews after the May 21 Memorandum
This event is expected to hit capacity for registrations to the live event. If you are unable to register due to the limited capacity, please check back after 1:30pm Eastern Time on Thursday, May 28. Once the live event has concluded, the maximum capacity limit will be removed. We will post the recording as soon as possible.
On May 21, 2026, USCIS issued a policy memorandum PM-602-0199, instructing officers to consider adjustment of status as “an extraordinary discretionary relief to the regular immigrant visa process” and “an act of administrative grace.” While much is still unknown, this could signal a potentially widespread change with a significant impact on immigrants and immigration attorneys. Join us for a roundtable discussion to address:
- What happened, what changed, who is affected
- Discretionary analysis under the memo
- Preparing for the adjustment interview
- Rights and roles of attorneys in interviews
