Biden Reverses Trump Policy of Green Card Denial Before RFE
In good news for adjustment of status ("green card") applicants, President Biden has announced the reversal of a Trump-era policy of rejecting incomplete applications without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE) requesting more information or documentation.
What does this mean for me?
If you are applying for a green card and submit an incomplete application, you will have a chance to correct any omissions at a later time in the process. This is especially helpful for our clients who are unable to obtain a necessary document in time to submit it with their green card application.
