Hot take: a lot of professionals already might qualify for an employment-based visa and just assume they don’t. EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 aren’t only for “exceptional” people, the criteria is more nuanced than most think.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Join me this Wednesday, the 7th at 10 AM PST for a live discussion on ICE’s expansion in 2026. We’ll talk about why waiting on your immigration case may be a risk. Save the date and bring your questions!

No one knows what will happen with the #travelban, courts change things, presidents change things. What you can’t do is give up because of fear or uncertainty. This won’t last forever; your determination matters more than today’s headlines.

Just a reminder going into 2026: despite all the fear and noise around immigration, people are still getting green cards, work permits, and citizenship every day. It’s more doable than it feels. Don’t give up!

ICE reportedly offering $3,000 to “self-deport.” When enforcement is marketed like a promotion, something has gone very wrong. Would you take it? www.tiktok.com/@joshisimmig...

From all of us at Goldstein Immigration Lawyers, we wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas🎄 We’re grateful to be part of so many journeys and to connect with people from all walks of life.

I spoke with ABC News about reports of U.S. citizenship oath ceremonies being canceled for applicants who had already been approved! abcnews.go.com/Politics/cit...

An official government account announcing deportation like a shopping discount, this is not policy communication, it’s intimidation packaged as a promotion! x.com/DHSgov/statu...

If Trump can announce a “gold card” where you pay $1M for a green card without changing the law, what stops a future Democratic president from creating a much cheaper version? Why wouldn’t the same principle apply?

USCIS now says biometrics expire after 3 years, and it makes no sense! www.tiktok.com/@joshisimmig...

USCIS announced a 3-year expiration on biometrics. Your fingerprints don’t change, but now applicants will need repeat biometrics appointments anyway. More steps, more delays, more hassle for immigrants. Another policy that makes the process harder, not better. www.boundless.com/blog/uscis-p...

Last week our office saw visas issued for two Iranian parents, even though, under the current ban, those visas shouldn’t have been approved. They weren’t part of any exception. Just a reminder: don’t give up. Keep filing and showing up. You never know what can happen.

Thinking about filing an immigration case in 2026 under the Trump administration? Join me live for an honest conversation about what to expect and how to approach your case. 📅 Wednesday, December 17 ⏰ 10:00 AM PST

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Major immigration changes are coming, new public charge rules, possible processing freezes, and more restrictions. Filing now could protect you from future rule changes, while waiting might close doors. Are you filing now, or waiting to see what happens?

Live tomorrow at 10 AM PST, we’ll explain the big news: U.S. suspends green cards for 19 countries. Who qualifies and who doesn’t? Tune in if you want clarity on this immigration shift: www.youtube.com/live/CwhQsKe...

Trump announced he plans to halt asylum processing, meaning people could still file, but their cases wouldn’t move.

Trump is hinting at a new immigration crackdown: ✔ Total travel bans ✔ Extreme vetting ✔ 60-day deadlines for “deficient” countries We don’t know which countries yet — but if you think yours could be affected, don’t travel right now. More details coming soon. #ImmigrationNews #TravelBan

ICE is arresting people at their marriage green card interviews, fully eligible, no criminal record, just to meet quotas. Cruel, pointless, and meant to scare people away from their rights. Don’t let fear stop you from fighting for your green card. #ImmigrationNews #USCIS #ICE #GreenCard

New green-card rule alert ⚠️ If you’ve used food stamps, Medicaid, or similar benefits, even for your U.S. citizen child, your green-card application could be at risk under the latest DHS proposal. It’s not law yet, but the landscape is shifting. www.nilc.org/resources/pu...

Please stop trying to bring your spouse to the U.S. on a #visitorvisa It won’t work, and it often creates bigger problems, delays, wasted money, even misrepresentation issues that require waivers. The safest path is always the proper family-based process from the start.

If you finished your naturalization interview, USCIS has 120 days to decide (it’s in the fine print on the N-652). If they don’t, you can go to federal court and force a decision. You’re not stuck, you have rights!

A woman came to me after her lawyer told her not to file a lawsuit for her delayed visa and to “just wait.” She’d already been waiting a year, alone and frustrated. We filed a Mandamus, and a few months later, she got her visa. Sometimes, “just wait” is the worst advice... #Mandamus #VisaDelay

Many people think that when the consulate keeps your passport, the visa is approved. Sometimes it is. Sometimes… it means nothing. I wish this process were clearer for everyone waiting and hoping to reunite with their families 💙

This October brought a wave of victories: Multiple visas finally issued after 3–6 years of delay Green cards approved after years of waiting An asylum granted after nearly six years Several families finally reunited after long separations Every win reminds us why persistence and hope matter!

So Trump thinks ICE raids need to go further… How much more pain do immigrant families have to go through? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

USCIS is taking too long, but you don’t have to just wait. I’ll show you exactly how we make them act! Wednesday, October 22, at 10 AM PST Join me live and learn how to fight back legally!
