Think having a clean record, a real marriage, and meeting all the green card requirements is enough? Under USCIS's new policy, that may no longer be the case. Even qualified applicants can be denied if they fail to demonstrate they deserve favorable discretion.

Join Lilly Legal as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains one of the biggest changes affecting adjustment-of-status applications in 2026. USCIS now expects applicants to demonstrate positive equities that outweigh any negative factors, making a routine application no longer sufficient for approval.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah breaks down what positive equities are and how to document them effectively. Learn how family and community ties, long-term residence in the United States, immigration compliance history, professional and financial contributions, property ownership, business ownership, humanitarian considerations, and hardship factors can strengthen your case. She also explains the importance of preparing a detailed discretionary statement, documenting your impact on your family and community, and addressing common USCIS interview questions. If you have concerns about overstays, unauthorized employment, or other negative factors, this video will help you understand how to build a stronger adjustment of status package under the new USCIS standards.

USCIS has changed how it views adjustment of status applications—and this new policy could significantly affect green card approvals for many immigrants already in the United States.

Join Lilly Legal on May 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains the updated USCIS policy memo that now treats adjustment of status as discretionary relief rather than an automatic benefit. Effective May 21, 2026, the new guidance instructs officers to treat an adjustment inside the U.S. as a potential negative factor when consular processing is available abroad.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah breaks down the major factors immigration officers must now review, including immigration law violations, a history of maintaining lawful status, conduct inconsistent with the purpose of a non-immigrant visa, and possible intent to avoid consular processing. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens may also be impacted under this policy shift. She explains why applicants should prepare strong discretionary statements and expect more detailed questioning during interviews with USCIS. Understanding this policy now can help applicants avoid costly mistakes and better prepare their cases for approval.

Tune in on May 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST to understand how this USCIS policy update could affect your green card application. For strategic guidance and case preparation, consult with Lilly Legal.

Many undocumented immigrants believe they have no path to legal status without a U.S. citizen spouse or family member—but that is not always true. There may still be legal options available.

Join Lilly Legal on May 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains five possible pathways for undocumented individuals to obtain a green card without relying on a U.S. citizen relative. She discusses asylum, U visas, Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status, T visas for trafficking survivors, and 245(i) employer-based adjustment options.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah explains that asylum applicants must generally show past persecution or fear of future persecution and usually apply within one year of entering the United States. She also discusses how U visas for crime victims can eventually lead to a green card after three years of status, although processing times may be lengthy. SIJ status may protect certain abused, abandoned, or neglected children under 21. T visas can provide relief and a faster green card path for trafficking survivors. Finally, some individuals with older approved family or employment petitions may qualify under Section 245(i) to adjust status without leaving the country. Understanding these options could completely change your immigration strategy.

Tune in on May 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST to learn what immigration pathways may still be available for undocumented individuals. If you are unsure about your eligibility, consider consulting with Lilly Legal for personalized legal guidance.

Many waiver applications are denied for one critical reason—failing to prove extreme hardship the right way. It’s not just about showing hardship, but showing it to the correct person under immigration law.

Join Lilly Legal on April 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains the key requirements for I-601 and I-601A extreme hardship waivers. She clarifies a common misunderstanding: the hardship must be proven for the qualifying relative—a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent—not the immigrant applicant.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah breaks down the three major evidence categories that can strengthen your waiver case. Medical and psychological evidence must clearly document the qualifying relative’s condition and how separation would worsen it. Financial evidence should demonstrate real hardship, including loss of income and inability to meet basic needs. Country condition reports, such as human rights reports and travel advisories, must connect the realities of the applicant’s home country to the hardship the qualifying relative would face. When properly presented, these elements can significantly improve your chances of approval. Legal guidance is strongly recommended to ensure your case is thorough, accurate, and persuasive.

Submitting an I-601A waiver without strong evidence can lead to delays or denial. The right documentation can make all the difference in proving extreme hardship.

Join Lilly Legal on April 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains three crucial types of evidence that can strengthen your I-601A waiver application. She breaks down how psychological evaluations, financial charts, and country condition reports work together to support a compelling hardship claim.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah explains how a psychological evaluation from a licensed mental health professional can document conditions such as anxiety or PTSD and assess the emotional impact of separation. She also highlights the importance of financial charts that clearly outline monthly income, expenses, and financial dependence. In addition, she discusses how country condition reports can demonstrate the realities and risks in the applicant’s home country and connect them directly to the hardship faced by the qualifying relative. When properly prepared, these pieces of evidence can significantly strengthen your waiver case. Lilly Legal emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and thorough documentation to improve your chances of approval.
