USCIS Issues Guidance on Adjustments by Individuals Whose Conditional Permanent Residence Has Been Terminated

11/21/19 AILA Doc. No. 19112190. Adjustment of Status, Business Immigration, EB-5 Investors, Family Immigration, Family-Based Immigrants

USCIS issued policy guidance on the application of Matter of Stockwell, clarifying when USCIS may adjust the status of an individual whose Conditional Permanent Resident (CPR) status has been terminated. An immigration judge does not need to affirm the termination of CPR status before the individual can file a new adjustment of status application. This guidance applies to adjustment of status applications filed with USCIS on or after 11/21/19. Comments are due by 12/5/19.

Note: After this guidance was issued, members reported receiving Form G-1522, Acknowledgement of Right to Challenge Termination, from USCIS, in which the adjustment of status applicant is asked to affirm that they are not appealing the decision to terminate their prior conditional permanent residence status in removal proceedings while they are pursuing adjustment of status on a new and separate basis with USCIS.
