Submission + - Most people seeking green cards must now apply from outside US (bbc.com)

Submitted by nunya_bizns
nunya_bizns writes: "We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation's immigration system properly," USCIS spokesman Zach Kahler said. "From now on, an alien who is in the US temporarily and wants a green card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances." Kahler said the policy would allow the immigration system "to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes" and that visits "should not function as the first step in the green card process".

On May 22, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a sweeping policy memorandum changing how "Adjustment of Status" (AOS) applications are handled. The agency announced it will now treat adjusting status from within the U.S. as an "extraordinary form of relief" rather than a routine path, directing most temporary visa holders to return home for consular processing.

Targeted Groups: The directive primarily impacts non-immigrants holding temporary visas, including students (F-1), tourists (B-1/B-2), and temporary workers (such as H-1B).
The New Rule: Instead of filing Form I-485 to get a Green Card while remaining in the United States, applicants are expected to leave and apply via consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.

Submission + - Senate working to require women to register for Selective Service (cnn.com)

Submitted by nunya_bizns
nunya_bizns writes: "The version of the NDAA that passed out of the Senate Armed Services Committee last week amends the Military Selective Service Act requiring women to register for Selective Service.

Despite being in the Senate bill, Reed suggested that because of GOP opposition to drafting women, it might not survive when a final version of the bill is negotiated between the GOP-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate.

'That has been a real sore point, that I can’t understand. We have had amendments that would have required women to register and we can’t get any real traction on the other side. We are going to try to do it. It makes sense. The military now is a mixed force,' he said."
