Leaving the US on Advance Parole? A New Ruling Could Cost You 10 Years
Previously, immigrants with pending green card applications treated Advance Parole as a reasonably safe way to travel abroad and come back. That assumption no longer holds. A new ruling from the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) has stripped away a protection that families, DACA recipients, and adjustment-of-status applicants relied on since 2012. It could now mean walking straight into a three- or ten-year bar on returning to the United States.
EB-1A Readiness Audit: 5 Brutally Honest Questions Before You File I-140
If you are contemplating filing your I-140 petition under EB-1A, you are likely at a crossroads. Though the EB-1A “extraordinary ability” route offers one of the most direct paths to a U.S. green card (without a job offer and without PERM), it is anything but easy. In 2025–2026, approval standards have tightened, and USCIS now evaluates not just whether you technically satisfy categories, but whether you truly stand at the top of your field. That’s why, before you submit, you need a readiness audit. Below are 5 brutally honest questions from our EB-1A consultants that every applicant should answer before filing.

On paper, the official website promised accelerated U.S. Residency in the Gold Card Visa Program.

Moreover, legal opinion and the latest comment by the DHS suggests that Gold Card may be unable to provide the applicant a fast residency as promised at the outset of the program.
USCIS Withdraws Major Employment-Based Immigration Reform Proposal: What It Means for EB-1, EB-2 NIW, and EB-3 Applicants
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has quietly withdrawn one of the most closely anticipated immigration rulemaking proposals in recent years. The proposal, DHS/USCIS RIN 1615-AC85, titled “Petition for Immigrant Worker Reforms,” had been expected to reshape how USCIS evaluates petitions across the EB-1, EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW), and EB-3 categories.
The Department of Homeland Security Shuts Down: Know Its Full Impact on Immigration

DHS is known to oversee the broadest swath of immigration functions. So when it shuts down, the impact could be wide-ranging for all immigration aspirants.
