USCIS Updates Guidance on Asylee and Refugee Adjustment One-Year Physical Presence Requirement

2/2/23 AILA Doc. No. 23020201. Asylum & Refugees
USCIS updated guidance to clarify that both asylees and refugees must have been physically present in the United States for one year when USCIS adjudicates their I-485, rather than at the time they file it. This applies to all I-485s and N-400s pending on 2/2/23 and those filed on or after 2/2/23.
