Recent Regulatory & Legislative Changes in U.S. Immigration Law

Written By Lauren Pevehouse

Immigration is not static — the rules, forms, fees, and priorities evolve. Here are recent changes to watch:

  • Effective April 1 2024, USCIS updated many filing fees and streamlined some processes. Front page - US+1

  • Fee schedule updates mean applicants should always verify current fees and form editions before filing. Department of Homeland Security

  • Visa availability/priority date rules are updated regularly (via the Visa Bulletin) which affects when you can file for adjustment of status. USCIS+1
    What this means for your case:

  • If you file using old forms or pay wrong fees, your application may be rejected or delayed.

  • Regulatory or legislative changes may require new strategies or additional documentation.
