USCIS updates discretionary criteria for interview determinations of adjustment of status for refugees or asylees.

USCIS announced updated guidance expanding the discretionary criteria USCIS officers use to determine whether to interview applicants filing Form I-485 based on refugee or asylee status. The updated criteria are within the parameters of USCIS’ regulatory authority to determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an interview is necessary to determine the admissibility of an alien applying for lawful permanent resident status under INA § 209. The updates do not change the eligibility requirements to adjust status.

Client has two criminal charges in his record but granted the adjustment of status.

Another win for the Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner, APC: Person just granted adjustment of status. It turns out that our client has two criminal charges in his record [I don’t know if the office was aware of this]- the client denied any criminal past on multiple occassions and upon the officer’s insistence he first admitted to being arrested for a Domestic Violence dispute in Torrance and, upon further insistence by the officer, who specifically asked if anything transpired in FL, he then admitted that he also had an issue (not sure if assault) in FL. The officer gave us the case number for the FL incident 102-883 12/13/98 and requested certified copy of the disposition of both incidents (client later told me he believes he was given 1 year probation for the DV but is not sure and that he never mentioned the FL incident because the judge told him it was dismissed).

Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of Status is the procedure whereby you can obtain your Green Card without having to leave the United States, or to go to a United States Consulate for an interview. There are numerous ways to adjust your status.

Our law firm can find the correct path for you to take to get your status adjusted. Not only will we prepare all of the necessary applications, but we can also attend the interview with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Normally, this results in the entire process going smoothly and without any problems. Of course, if any problems arise, we know how to properly handle and take care of them.
