English Como vimos durante la primera administración de Trump, es probable que volvamos a ver la implementación de entrevistas obligatorias en todos los casos de residencia permanente legal (tanto basados en familia como en empleo) y una disminución en los recursos críticos de las agencias dedicados a la revisión y adjudicación de casos, lo que llevará a tiempos de procesamiento más largos. Veremos cambios en las directivas discrecionales para los adjudicadores...

What can we expect from the second Trump administration for family-based immigration and naturalization cases? Slower processing times and fewer discretionary approvals.

Immigrant-Family-Stock-Photo
 Español    As we saw during the first Trump administration, we will likely again see mandates for interviews in all lawful permanent residency cases (both family and employment-based cases) and a decrease in critical agency resources dedicated to reviewing and adjudicating cases, leading to longer processing times.  We will see changes in discretionary guidelines for agency adjudicators, directing immigration officials to deny cases in the exercise of discretion more frequently.  We will...

What can we expect from the second Trump administration for humanitarian immigration benefits? Elimination or severe restrictions of TPS, DACA, U and T visas.

DACA-Rally
 Español   The Trump administration’s proposed policy changes on various protections for undocumented immigrants have created a sense of uncertainty and fear for many, particularly for individuals who previously benefited from humanitarian programs such as TPS, DACA, U-Visas, and T-Visas.  These programs have offered critical relief and stability for vulnerable populations, but under the next Trump administration, we expect severe restrictions on or the elimination of these programs.  Temporary Protected Status (TPS): ...

¿Qué podemos esperar de la segunda administración de Trump para las personas sin estatus migratorio legal? Arrestos, detenciones y deportaciones.

DHS-Truc_20241113-195938_1
English Durante toda la campaña, Trump fue claro sobre su intención de aumentar drásticamente la aplicación de la ley migratoria, prometiendo deportaciones masivas desde el primer día. Aunque es poco probable que la nueva administración tenga la capacidad de deportar a un gran número de personas inmediatamente después de asumir el cargo, ciertamente veremos un cambio significativo en la aplicación de la ley migratoria, donde todas las personas en los Estados...

How to prepare for the 2025 Trump Administration

Dreamers-Pic
With the election of Donald Trump to serve as our next president, who ran on a decidedly anti-immigrant platform, we are certain to see dramatic shifts in immigration policy. Based on Trump’s rhetoric, his previous administration from 2017-2020, and Project 2025 (which is well understood to be the incoming administration’s roadmap on immigration), we expect to see increased immigration enforcement; slower processing times for immigration benefits; limitations on or elimination of...
