โ IMMIGRATION ALERT: Whatโs Coming in June & July 2026 โ ๏ธ
If you or someone you love is navigating the U.S. immigration system โ these next few weeks are CRITICAL. Hereโs what to watch ๐๐พ
๐๏ธ MID-TO-LATE JUNE 2026
๐ The U.S. government is required to complete its 180-day review of the 39-country travel ban. At that point, countries could be ADDED, REMOVED, or RECLASSIFIED. If your country is on this list โ watch this closely. Changes could happen with little warning.
๐ JUNE 29, 2026 โ DEADLINE
โฐ Public comment period closes on the new H.R. 1 immigration fee rules. These fees include a 900% increase on TPS applications and a 59% increase on work permit (EAD) fees. If these rules affect you, now is the time to make your voice heard through the Federal Register.
๐ฑ๐ท JUNE 30, 2026
Liberian Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is set to expire. If you are a Liberian national currently protected under DED โ contact an immigration attorney NOW before this deadline.
โ๐พ JULY 10, 2026 โ NEW USCIS RULE
A brand new rule takes effect: if USCIS decides your immigration application has an invalid signature, they can reject it AND keep your filing fee โ treating it as fully decided. Double-check every document before you submit.
๐ก BOTTOM LINE:
The immigration system is changing FAST. Missing one deadline, one signature, one fee โ could cost you your case.
