Title: Preference Alien Process Registration for Adjustment of Status Applicants | |
Abstract: This proposed rule would amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing how U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would accept and process an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. This proposed rule would discontinue the concurrent filing process for employment-based adjustment of status applicants. In addition, it would require that an alien seeking to immigrate based upon a classification that is subject to numerical limitations, must be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition prior to proceeding through a revised adjustment of status process. This proposed rule is intended to streamline the overall adjustment of status process, as well as mitigate visa retrogression through improved estimation of immigrant visa availability. | |
