USCIS just issued a policy memo that changes how green card applications from inside the United States will be reviewed. We've covered the basics in our full breakdown of the new policy, but the article can only take us so far. There are real questions about what this means for E-3 holders, for people with pending applications, and for anyone planning an adjustment-of-status path in the months ahead — and those questions deserve an expert in the room.

So we're hosting one. On Tuesday May 26, immigration attorney Zjantelle Cammisa Markel from Cammisa Markel joins us for a live Q&A on the new USCIS policy and what it means for Australians in the US. The session runs from 6pm ET / 3pm PT, and the format is built around your questions.

What this webinar covers

The conversation focuses on the practical impact of the new USCIS adjustment of status framework. Topics we'll be working through include:

• What USCIS Policy Memo PM-602-0199 actually changes (and what it doesn't)
• How the new “extraordinary relief” framing affects officer discretion
• Whether the new framework applies retroactively to applications already pending
• What the change means for E-3 visa holders specifically
• Whether consular processing might now be the safer route than adjustment of status
• What we're watching for in the weeks ahead — category-specific guidance, denial trends, legal challenges

We'll also work through whatever questions come in from registrants. Some of the most useful conversations on past webinars have come from questions we hadn't anticipated, so don't hold back when you register.

This is the kind of conversation we wish was available every time something changes in US immigration. It's not legal advice for your specific case — that requires a personal consultation — but it is the closest thing to sitting in a room with an expert and asking the question you've actually been thinking about.

How to register and ask your question

Registration is free. When you sign up, you can submit a question that you'd like answered during the session. We can't guarantee every question gets covered, but submitted questions are read first, and the more specific your question, the more likely it gets airtime.

If you can't make the live session, register anyway. We'll send the recording to everyone who signs up so you can watch it back at your own pace.

This conversation, like every Expert Q&A we host, is general information rather than legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, consult a qualified US immigration attorney.
