Tell Congress to End Bureaucratic Delays and Keep Families Together
- On May 22, the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a shocking memo, largely halting the longstanding practice of allowing lawfully present and green card eligible non-citizens to adjust their status while residing in the United States. These individuals, many of whom are sponsored by U.S. citizen spouses, parents, or adult children, will instead need to return to their countries of origin to endure a months- or years-long process abroad.
This new memo treats Adjustment of Status as a discretionary benefit, so now most families who previously could have stayed together during months or years of bureaucratic processing will apparently now be forced to separate.
Urge your member of Congress to stop USCIS from implementing this cruel, anti-family policy.
