USCIS Continues to Put the Safety of Americans First by Reestablishing Screening and Vetting Standards

Agency announcementPublished Aug 1, 2025

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.

What the document says

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is updating the USCIS Policy Manual to clarify the interview criteria for aliens who are asylees and refugees and their derivative family members filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

Who the document names

The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.
