  3. 🎉 In a thrilling plot twist, #USCIS has decided to only grant adjustment of status in "extraordinary" circumstances, because regular circumstances are just too mainstream. 🧐 Apparently, you now need to prove you're an alien with superpowers just to get a green card. 🚀👌

  4. One underexamined issue in AI-assisted adjudication systems:

    Officers may encounter machine-generated similarity signals before questioning even begins.

    The system is not the decision-maker.

    But it may still shape:
    • what receives scrutiny
    • what gets detail-tested
    • how credibility concerns develop during review

    New ILW article from the perspective of a former USCIS adjudicator:

  12. Effective May 18, 2026, USCIS will limit remote attorney participation in interviews, including asylum and NACARA cases (with limited exceptions).

    The right to representation remains—but how it functions in practice is changing.

    More weight will shift to how the record is prepared before the interview.

  14. RE: flipboard.com/@npr/politics-v8

    Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?

    This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.

    It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).

    We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.

    Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.

    Incredible waste and inefficiency.

  20. Immigration cases are often framed around law and narrative.

    In practice, they are decided through credibility assessments, evidentiary weight, and procedural interpretation.

    BiyteLüm provides expert witness services grounded in former USCIS adjudications experience—focusing on how decisions are actually made.

    Not theory. Implementation.

  21. I wrote a blog post:

    "In September 2018, my wife and I arrived in the United States to build our new lives. After 7 and a half years of paperwork, visa anxiety, job stress, we finally received our green cards in the mail this March."

    "Based on the timelines that we knew about, from the experiences and stories of friends and family who had done this before us, we knew we were working with a ten-year timeline to try to get a green card. I'm not one of those people who lived all my life aspiring to live in America: far from it. I really didn't want to go. I had a very comfortable life in Singapore, even as a queer person. My Chinese and economic privilege brought me far there; the first few years of life in America were hell for me and I could not imagine ten years of that."

    Ultimately, we took less time than a decade and the 7.5 years went by faster than that."
