🚨 BREAKING IMMIGRATION NEWS 🚨 USCIS released a major policy memorandum on May 22, 2026, that could significantly change how Green Cards are processed for immigrants currently inside the United States. 📌 What’s Happening: USCIS is now describing Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) as an “extraordinary form of relief,” signaling stricter review for applicants seeking Green Cards from within the U.S. The memo suggests that many temporary visa holders—including F-1 students, B-1/B-2 visitors, H-1B professionals, and L-1 workers may increasingly be expected to complete their Green Card process abroad through Consular Processing. 📌 Key Takeaways: • Meeting basic eligibility requirements may no longer be enough • Officers are being directed to weigh discretionary factors like immigration history, family ties, and moral character • Even dual-intent visas such as H-1B and L-1 may face additional scrutiny • It remains unclear how pending I-485 cases will be handled 📌 Why It Matters: If you are planning to apply for a Green Card or currently hold a temporary visa in the U.S., immigration strategy is more important than ever. ⚠️ Important: Every case is different. If you believe this policy change may affect you or your family, speak with an experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible. ⚖️ This content is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice.

⚖️ Omaha Immigration Court Is Moving Faster Than Ever — Here’s What You Need to Know If you have a pending asylum case in Omaha, the timeline has dramatically changed. Immigration judges are now moving cases forward in as little as 90 days instead of the 5–10 year wait many people once expected. The government is also using “pretermit” motions to fast-track decisions, giving asylum applicants as little as 10 days to establish a prima facie case. At the same time, judges are no longer allowed to grant continuances simply to give applicants more time to prepare. The “wait and see” era is over. Your hearing could come much sooner than you think, and preparation matters now more than ever. At 402Legal, we stay on top of deadlines so you can move forward with confidence. We help you understand your rights, evaluate your options, and we persist when others give up. 🔗 Schedule your consultation: 402legal.com 📞 Call us today: 402-858-2020 ——— ⚖️ La Corte de Inmigración de Omaha está avanzando más rápido que nunca. Los casos de asilo ahora pueden resolverse en tan solo 90 días, y algunas personas solo tienen 10 días para responder a ciertas mociones del gobierno. Los jueces también tienen menos flexibilidad para otorgar más tiempo. La era de “esperar y ver” terminó. Preparar su caso desde ahora es más importante que nunca. En 402Legal, le ayudamos a entender sus derechos, conocer sus opciones, y persistimos cuando otros se dan por vencidos. #402Legal #WePersist #ImmigrationLaw #OmahaImmigrationCourt#AsylumCase #ImmigrationAttorney #OmahaLawyer #LegalUpdates #KnowYourRights #ImmigrationSupport #BusinessAndImmigrationLaw

⚖️ Independent Contractor Rules Are Changing If your business relies on contractors, now is the time to review your policies. The Department of Labor is proposing a new rule that could change how independent contractors are classified in 2026. The focus will be on who controls the work and whether the worker has a real opportunity for profit or loss. Misclassification can lead to audits, penalties, and legal risks, even if your contracts look compliant on paper. At 402Legal, we help businesses stay ahead of changing employment laws and protect their growth. We help you know your rights, and we persist when others give up. 🔗 402legal.com 📞 402-858-2020 ⚖️ Las reglas para contratistas independientes están cambiando Si su negocio trabaja con contratistas, este es el momento de revisar sus políticas. El Departamento de Trabajo está proponiendo una nueva regla que podría cambiar cómo se clasifican los contratistas independientes en 2026.

Una clasificación incorrecta puede generar auditorías, multas y riesgos legales, incluso si sus contratos parecen cumplir con la ley.

In coordination with @HHSGov, @StateDept will revoke U.S. passports of those who owe significant child support debt. Anyone owing child support debt should arrange payment now with the relevant state child support enforcement agency to prevent passport revocation. If outside the U.S. when their passport is revoked, individuals with significant debt will be eligible ONLY for a limited validity passport for direct return to the United States.
