Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.
- A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.
