La dernière alerte politique, PA-2024-05, publiée par les services américains de citoyenneté et d'immigration (USCIS) le 21 mars 2024, apporte des révisions au manuel de politique de l'USCIS, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur les demandes d'accélération. Ces mises à jour visent à simplifier et à clarifier la procédure pour les demandeurs, en particulier ceux qui sont confrontés à des situations d'urgence ou à des besoins humanitaires urgents. L'objectif principal est de permettre aux demandeurs de comprendre plus facilement comment demander un traitement accéléré de leurs diverses soumissions, y compris les demandes, les pétitions, les appels ou les motions, en particulier dans les cas concernant les intérêts du gouvernement ou les situations urgentes.

Bien que l'USCIS ait toujours permis aux demandeurs de prestations d'immigration de solliciter un traitement accéléré de leur demande dans des circonstances spécifiques, la procédure a souvent été perçue comme peu claire, les décisions étant prises arbitrairement au cas par cas. La récente mise à jour vise à rectifier cette situation en clarifiant et en uniformisant la procédure et en établissant des critères explicites et des normes en matière de documentation.

Pour demander un traitement accéléré, les demandeurs doivent se conformer à une procédure plus définie. Il s'agit de soumettre une documentation complète et d'illustrer l'urgence ou la pertinence gouvernementale de leur dossier. La récente mise à jour explique également comment l'USCIS examine ces demandes, ce qui permet aux demandeurs de mieux comprendre le processus.

La mise à jour introduit des mesures spéciales pour accélérer le traitement du formulaire I-131 (demande de document de voyage) dans les situations d'urgence. Ces mesures tiennent compte de la nécessité urgente pour certains demandeurs de voyager. La politique reconnaît également que les demandes accélérées peuvent être évaluées s'il y a une erreur évidente de l'USCIS, dans le but de maintenir l'équité et la responsabilité dans le système de traitement. Ces changements visent à rendre la procédure de demande accélérée plus transparente et plus compréhensible pour les demandeurs et leurs représentants.

En résumé, la révision de l'USCIS concernant les demandes accélérées représente une avancée notable pour rendre le processus d'immigration plus transparent et plus attentif aux besoins des demandeurs. En comprenant ces lignes directrices actualisées, les demandeurs et leurs représentants peuvent naviguer plus efficacement dans la procédure de demande accélérée, garantissant ainsi que les cas urgents reçoivent l'attention qu'ils méritent.

 Receiving a two-year green card through marriage is an important step, but it leaves another process ahead: removing the conditions on permanent residence. For couples preparing a joint Form I-751 petition, understanding the filing window and organizing evidence early can make the preparation more manageable. The starting point is your own record. Locate the green card, the notice granting residence, and copies of the earlier immigration filing. Check the date conditional residence began and the card’s expiration date. Do not calculate the next deadline solely from your wedding anniversary or the date an attorney first submitted your case. Understand the joint filing window Under 8 CFR 216.4 , a joint I-751 petition generally must be filed during the 90-day period immediately before the second anniversary of obtaining conditional permanent residence. This is a window before that anniversary, not an additional 90 days after the card expires. Preparing early and filing early are different things. You can begin gathering records well before the window opens, while coordinating the correct submission date with your attorney. A joint petition also requires the appropriate signatures, fee, and supporting documentation. Confirm the current form instructions, accepted filing method, and applicable fee when the case is ready to submit. Build a record of the marriage over time The regulation identifies several types of evidence that may help show the marriage was not entered into to evade immigration law: jointly owned property, a lease for a shared home, combined financial resources, children’s birth certificates, and statements from people with personal knowledge of the relationship. These examples do not mean every couple must have a mortgage, joint accounts, or children. The evidence should accurately reflect your circumstances. A clear explanation of how you manage your household can be more useful than forcing your relationship into a checklist that does not fit. As a practical preparation step, organize records by date and type. Review whether they help explain the course of the marriage, rather than collecting only documents created shortly before filing. Flag separate addresses, name changes, or gaps in the records for your attorney. Never alter a document to make the history appear simpler. Tell your attorney if circumstances change This article addresses joint filing. Divorce, the death of a spouse, abuse, or other significant changes may require a different filing basis or an individualized assessment. Separate waiver provisions exist, with their own requirements. A spouse’s unwillingness to sign does not, by itself, establish eligibility for every waiver. Do not assume that the joint 90-day window answers every question about a non-joint case. If the relationship changes while preparing the petition or while it is pending, inform counsel promptly. You should not need to invent a continuing relationship to seek advice about the options that may actually apply. Keep tracking the case after submission The regulation provides that conditional resident status is automatically extended, when necessary, upon receipt of a properly filed I-751 until adjudication. Proof of that status is a separate practical matter: keep the receipt notice and have counsel review its wording before relying on it for travel or employment documentation. This article does not promise a particular receipt-extension period or processing time. A missed deadline calls for prompt legal attention. The regulation allows some late joint filings where USCIS accepts a written showing of good cause, but acceptance is not automatic. Do not assume a late petition cures the problem without further review. Santos Lloyd Law Firm, P.C. can help you assess the filing window, organize relevant evidence, and identify changes that may affect your I-751 strategy. Contact the firm early enough to review the facts before the deadline approaches.

October begins a new federal fiscal year, but that does not mean every green card applicant moves to the front of the line. The Department of State’s October 2026 Visa Bulletin sets out the visa availability that applicants in family-sponsored and employment-based preference categories need to review this month.
