Trump's New Immigration Policy Just Changed Everything for Work Visas

👉 Schedule a consultation: https://hubs.la/Q04j_pjr0 In this podcast, U.S. immigration attorneys Charles Raether and Yulia Novik break down the controversial new USCIS policy on Adjustment of Status (AOS) announced in May 2026 — and explain what it really means for immigrants already inside the United States. The new policy memo shocked the immigration community by stating that Adjustment of Status should only be granted in “extraordinary” situations involving administrative discretion. But is Adjustment of Status actually being banned? We discuss what USCIS is really targeting, how “preconceived immigrant intent” may now affect applicants, why tourists and students could face additional scrutiny, and what kinds of “positive equities” applicants may now need to prove. The episode also covers EB-1A, EB-5, E-2, F-1, O-1, L-1, and family-based adjustment strategies, along with practical advice for building a stronger immigration case in 2026. This is an essential discussion for anyone considering Adjustment of Status inside the United States under the current immigration climate. ⏱️ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro & New Immigration Policy Overview 3:44 Clarifying the New Policy Standard 4:51 Case-by-Case Discretion in Adjustment 6:28 The Need for Positive Equities 9:02 Addressing Preconceived Immigrant Intent 12:38 Guidance for Tourists and Students 14:40 Family Reunification Challenges 17:33 Impact on Dual Intent Visas (H-1B & L-1) 18:20 EB-1A and O-1 Transitional Paths 22:02 EB-5 Investor Considerations 27:10 Building Your Case: Final Summary ❓ Have questions? 📞 For Consultations, Contact Us: 📱 Phone: +1 (305) 509-6400 💬 WhatsApp: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=1... 🌐 Website: https://amlawglobal.com 👉 Schedule a consultation with our legal team: https://hubs.la/Q04j_pjr0 📲 Follow Us: 📸 Instagram:   / amlaw.visa   📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 💼 LinkedIn:   / amlaw-group   📍 Our Office in Miami: 1920 E Hallandale Beach Blvd Suite 709, Hallandale Beach, FL, 33009 Thanks for watching!
