NEW VISA RULE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2026 🇺🇸

Starting October 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of State expanded its online presence review to additional nonimmigrant visa applicants.

Under the new expansion, applicants for I visas (foreign media representatives), TN visas, and TD visas are instructed to set the privacy settings on all social media profiles to “public” or “open” to facilitate the government’s vetting process.

This is an expansion of an existing policy. Social-media vetting and public-profile instructions already apply to several other categories, including certain F, M, J, H, K, R, Q, S, T and U visa applicants, as well as certain diplomatic and official visa categories.

The Department of State says online presence may be reviewed as part of determining an applicant’s identity, admissibility, eligibility for the visa, and whether the intended activities are consistent with the visa requested.

⚠️ Applying for a U.S. visa? Your online presence matters. Before your visa interview, make sure you understand whether this requirement applies to your visa category and that the information provided in your application is accurate and consistent.

Federal immigration agents have authority—but that authority comes with rules and accountability.

During a congressional exchange, an official was questioned about ICE agents using pepper spray on a moving vehicle carrying a family, including a one-year-old child.

When asked if this was proper procedure, the answer was clear: “No, it’s not proper.”

Immigration laws must be enforced while respecting established procedures and standards for the use of force.

Is there a legal immigration system that works?

During a congressional discussion on immigration, Rep. Pramila Jayapal questioned immigration policy expert David Bier about the current U.S. immigration system — including the long waits for family-based Green Cards, legal pathways for workers, immigration enforcement, public safety, and the economic impact of immigrants in the United States.
One of the most striking points raised in the exchange: some family-based immigration categories are still processing cases with priority dates dating back more than two decades.
The discussion highlights something immigration attorneys see every day: having a legal pathway does not necessarily mean having a fast or simple pathway. Depending on the immigration category and country of birth, families can face years — and sometimes decades — of waiting.

🚨 CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO GO TO SCHOOL.

Reports of children being arrested or detained at or near bus stops are deeply concerning. A school bus stop should be a place where kids wait for their ride to class — not a place where they fear being taken away.

Parents and families: know your rights, have an emergency plan, and make sure your children know who to contact if something happens.

Every child deserves to feel safe on their way to school. 🎒🏫

“My family came to this country the right way.”

But what were the rules when your family arrived?

In 1790, U.S. naturalization law limited citizenship to “free white persons.” In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act specifically restricted Chinese immigration.

Meanwhile, for much of the 1800s, many European immigrants entered the United States without facing today’s system of visas, numerical limits, and years-long waiting lists.

Immigration laws have never affected everyone equally.

Before comparing today’s immigrants to our ancestors, we should also compare the laws they faced.

BREAKING: USCIS just changed the affirmative asylum process.

Under a new rule, asylum officers may now refer certain asylum cases directly to Immigration Court without first conducting an asylum interview.

That means your written application, personal declaration, and supporting evidence are now more important than ever. In some cases, applicants may never have the opportunity to explain their story during an interview before being placed in removal proceedings.

If you have a pending asylum application—or you’re planning to file one—this change could significantly impact your case.

Don’t wait until you receive a Notice to Appear. Make sure your asylum application is complete, accurate, and supported by strong evidence from the very beginning.

Not every tragedy begins with a crime. Some begin when a mother begs not to be separated from her child.

According to reports published by The Washington Post, Wendi Hernandez Reyes said she asked to be deported together with her young son, but that request was not granted. Months later, her 3-year-old son, Orlin, who had remained in the United States in the care of an uncle, died after suffering severe abuse. Authorities have charged the uncle with his murder, and forensic examinations also indicated signs of sexual abuse. The case continues to receive widespread public attention.

Regardless of the political debate surrounding immigration, one question remains:

When a child is left unprotected, who is held accountable?

As an immigration attorney, I see every day how decisions made during the immigration process can change lives forever. That is why every case must be handled with responsibility, humanity, and respect for due process.

May Orlin’s story never be forgotten.
