OUTDATED RESOURCE – DOES NOT REFLECT CURRENT USCIS POLICY

This practice pointer provides a summary and analysis of USCIS's now-rescinded June 28, 2018 policy memo, which expanded the situations in which USCIS issued a Notice to Appear in connection with adjudicating a request for immigration benefits. On Jan. 20, 2021, the Biden administration rescinded this 2018 guidance and reinstated the prior policy on this subject, from 2011. The resource includes a chart comparing the 2011 guidance with the 2018 guidance. Click here to visit CLINIC’s NTA guidance webpage.
