U.S. Supreme Court Allows DACA to Stand

On June 18th, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it rescinded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) and ordered DACA to stand.

The DACA program, an Obama administration policy which provides deferred action on removal proceedings and grants work authorization to certain undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally as minors has been a contentious issue that has been through a series of federal legal challenges. The Trump administration had sought to end DACA on the grounds that the Obama administration violated the law by granting undocumented immigrants employment authorization.

While the Court’s decision enables roughly 700,000 DACA participants to renew their applications for deferred action and employment, the Court also acknowledged that DHS retains the authority to rescind DACA provided such rescission is done in accordance with proper administrative procedures.

New USCIS Policy Aims to Reduce Frivilous and Incomplete Filings

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has amended a previous policy during the Biden Administration which encouraged adjudicating officers to issue a Request for Evidence (“RFE”) before denying an immigration benefit even if the benefit being sought was filed incomplete, the requestor failed to demonstrate eligibility for the benefit being sought, or did not provide initial evidence clearly required at the time of submission. According to USCIS, the previous policy allowed for frivolous or substantially incomplete filings which slowed processing times and led to increased operational costs. The new policy, which was announced on August 5, 2026, restores an adjudicating officer’s full discretion in denying an immigration benefit without first issuing an RFE or a Notice of Intent to Deny (“NOID”). Updated policy highlights include the following: The revised policy is effective immediately and applies to immigration benefits that remain pending with USCIS or filed on or after

How to Petition Your Vietnamese Spouse for a U.S. Green Card?

Marriage to a U.S. Citizen does not automatically grant a Vietnamese spouse the right to live permanently in the United States. Before a Vietnamese spouse can immigrate to the United States, the U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (“Petitioner”) must first establish the marital relationship, complete the required documentation and have the process go through the U.S. immigration system. Multiple government agencies are involved including United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), the United States Department of State (“DOS”), National Visa Center (“NVC”) and the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City. Each stage has separate forms, evidence requirements and deadlines.
