hi friends welcome to another important
update about a change in our immigration
policies that will impact a lot of
people so stay tuned you don't want to
miss this one hi again first of all
thank you guys for subscribing to my
youtube channel it is growing and it is
run because of you if you have not yet
subscribed to this channel you're going
to want to do so right now because this
is the channel that provides you with
important updates in the world of
immigration and I also teach a lot about
other topics immigration 101 I want you
to go ahead and subscribe so that you
can get these important updates and
videos ok so what's happening as you
guys know the government issued a new
policy that says that they can
essentially deny your petition or your
application without giving you notice
first basically you would not receive a
request for additional evidence nor will
you receive a notice of intent to deny
now this policy I talked about it just a
couple of months ago in one of my videos
I'm gonna put the link to that video
right here in this video please watch
that because in that video I go into
much greater details about this new
policy but for now here's what I want
you to know this is an update this
policy went into effect on September 12
2018 and immigration has provided some
general guidance to us about what this
policy will look like now that it's in
effect and so the first thing that you
need to know is that if your petition or
your application was filed before
September 12 2008 this new policy
does not apply to you meaning that if
you had submitted your family petition
or your adjustment of status application
and you did not include all of the
required evidence you will receive a
request for additional evidence or
initial evidence you'll receive a letter
that asks you to supply the missing
documentation evidence
or whatever the information may be so
this does not apply to anyone who had
petitioned who had filed before
September 12 2018 next this new policy
does not apply to what immigration calls
or will consider as innocent mistakes
okay or any sort of misunderstanding
what what in the world does that mean
right so for example if you filed your
petition and you're missing a few pages
they will they're saying that they will
overlook that and they will ask you to
resubmit refile before they just deny
you outright okay so if there if it was
an innocent mistake or some sort of
misunderstand and that's a judgment call
that they will make by the way they will
determine what that means those people
in those circumstances will receive and
will get an opportunity to correct the
problem the other thing that you need to
know is that when they do deny you when
they do deny you they must include a
very specific reason why they have done
so so your letter of denial or the
decision letter will need to include a
very specific reason for why they have
denied you so those are some of the
guidance that we've received thus far
from immigration about this policy they
are also going to put out checklist
various checklists on their website
USCIS gov that will inform you very
specifically about what documents you
must attach or evidence you must attach
to your petition or application so
that's something they are working on I
have not seen evidence of that yet I
checked the website today and I have not
seen any of those checklists yet so stay
tuned for those checklist now super
important that you know that this policy
is in effect they can in fact deny your
application or petition if without
giving you notice first or an
opportunity to cure the problem watch my
video for details about my other video
for details about what are the
circumstances in which they will do so
stay attuned to what
going on a work with a lawyer this is
not the time to really try to do some of
this on your own things have gotten a
lot more complex and so you don't want
to spend a lot of money on filing fees
only to have to do the process all over
again and spend more money so I hope you
find this video helpful again please
subscribe to this YouTube channel and I
will see you guys in the next one bye
bye
