Trump reaffirmed “no amnesty” — but DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just said Congress could create a path to permanent residence for DACA recipients, and that the President told him to start talking with Democrats. Nothing changes today. No bill exists. DACA stays exactly as it is. About 455,000 people currently hold DACA. If that’s you, keep renewing on time and speak with an immigration attorney about your options. Sources: AP, Fox News, Time, Politico. Attorney advertising.

USCIS just issued new guidance that can affect your citizenship application. On November 4, 2026, USCIS released Policy Memo PM-602-0201. Officers are now instructed to look more closely at Good Moral Character on Form N-400, especially around financial responsibilities and public benefits. Here’s what can now hurt your case: • Willfully failing to support dependents (even without a court order) • Fraud or misrepresentation related to public benefits • Failing to meet obligations under an Affidavit of Support (I-864 / I-864A) or Declaration of Support (I-134 / I-134A) • Intentionally avoiding self-sufficiency (for example, deliberately reducing work just to stay on means-tested benefits) Important: Simply receiving benefits you’re legally eligible for is not an automatic bar. USCIS still has to review your specific situation. If you have any child support history, have sponsored someone, or have used public benefits, get it reviewed before you file. Comment “GMC” and I’ll send you the key points. #USCIS #N400 #Citizenship #GreenCard #Immigration

DV-2027 WILL NOT OPEN NOVEMBER 1 The 9th Circuit just granted the government’s emergency stay. The court order that required registration to start on Nov 1 is now blocked. What this means: • No registration opening this weekend • No confirmed new date • Program is paused, not cancelled • Appeal continues This is tough news for thousands of hopeful applicants who were ready. The judges noted they do not support the delay, but the stay was granted on standing grounds. Official updates only from the State Department. I’ll share the moment anything changes. Were you planning to enter on Nov 1? Comment your country 👇 #DV2027 #DiversityVisa #GreenCardLottery #DVLottery

DACA work permits taking 7 months? 🚨 People are losing jobs while they wait — and there’s no automatic extension. Here’s what actually helps right now: 1️⃣ File as early as possible (aim for 150 days before expiration) 2️⃣ Once it’s pending 105+ days → inquire + request an expedite if you’re facing real hardship 3️⃣ Contact your Congressperson’s office for a congressional inquiry Do NOT work after your card expires unless you have another basis. Plan with your employer now. This is general info, not legal advice. Every case is different — talk to an immigration attorney about yours. Comment “DACA” if you want the full checklist 👇 Save & share this so more people see it. #DACA #DACARenewal #WorkPermit #Immigration #Dreamers

Can you fly domestically if your US visa is expired? ✈️🛂 I get asked this question every single week. A lot of people think an expired visa means they are instantly trapped in their state, but the reality is a lot more complicated. Here is what you actually need to know before you book that ticket to Vegas or Miami: 🛂 Visa vs. I-94 Status: Your visa is just a key to enter the U.S. If the visa stamp in your passport is expired, but your I-94 (your permitted duration of stay) is still valid, you are perfectly fine to fly. 🔒 TSA is NOT Immigration: TSA’s primary job is aviation security, not immigration enforcement. If you present a valid, unexpired foreign passport or a valid U.S. state ID, they will generally let you clear the security checkpoint. 🚨 The Real Danger (CBP & ICE): Even if TSA lets you through, airports are federal jurisdictions. Major international hubs (like LAX, SFO, JFK) and domestic airports within 100 miles of a land border are heavily patrolled by CBP and ICE. They can and do conduct random stops. If you are undocumented and get stopped, you risk detention and deportation. The Bottom Line: While you technically can board a domestic flight with an unexpired foreign passport, if you are out of status, the risk of running into immigration enforcement is very real. Have you ever noticed CBP officers checking IDs at domestic gates? Let me know below. 👇 Share this with someone who needs to hear it, and save it for your next trip! #ImmigrationLawyer #USVisa #ExpiredVisa #Undocumented #TSA

They can ask about health insurance at your immigrant visa interview. That does not mean you are legally required to already have a U.S. policy. It means consular officers can look at the full picture: your health, expected medical costs, and how you will pay once you arrive. Your I-864 still matters. It is no longer the whole interview. What actually helps: • A short written plan: who is covered, when coverage starts, who pays • A quote from a U.S. broker or marketplace plan • Proof of short-term / international coverage for the first weeks after entry • Confirmation you can join a U.S. relative’s plan, and when If you have a chronic condition, do not say “I’ll buy insurance later.” Show who pays for ongoing care. This is public-charge screening. Prepare the answer before you sit down. Comment INTERVIEW and I’ll send the document checklist. Attorney advertising. This is general information, not legal advice for your case. #usvisa #immigrantvisa #consularprocessing #embassy #immigrationlawyer intervie
