Please share your experience with this PP mass refund from USCIS. Mine was a H1B renewal. Still pending.

Any updates for those who received that PP refund and no action?

…after 4 months. Thank you, but my question is: I still need this H1B approved. I haven’t been able to work since April. Do we know if we are still in PP timeline? When will the clock restart?

Hello, do you guys know any attorneys who would do a WM without us having to sell a kidney? Thanks

H1B filed in May 2025. PP in March 2026. From 39 countries. Attorney got this response after 5th contact with PP unit. What are my options?

If your application or petition was previously subject to a hold under the vacated policies, USCIS is taking appropriate action to resume adjudication. While USCIS is working to process affected cases as expeditiously as possible, processing times may vary depending on the circumstances of each case and any remaining eligibility, security, or background review requirements unrelated to the vacated policies.

Anyone who filed in March has gotten their EADs at least? From the 19 countries

We filed our i485 and i765 in March of this year. Biometrics on May 1st. What would be a fair estimate to receive at least the EAD?

Thank you for your inquiry submitted on behalf of your constituent.
 
USCIS previously issued Policy Memoranda PM-602-0192, Hold and Review of all Pending Asylum Applications and all USCIS Benefit Applications Filed by Aliens from High-Risk Countries, and PM-602-0194, Hold and Review of USCIS Benefit Applications Filed by Aliens from Additional High-Risk Countries. These memoranda directed USCIS to place certain immigration benefit requests on hold while additional national security and public safety reviews were conducted for individuals from designated high-risk countries. They were issued based on Presidential Proclamation 10949, Restricting the Entry of Foreign Nationals To Protect the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats, June 4, 2025, and Presidential Proclamation (PP) 10998, Restricting and Limiting the Entry of Foreign Nationals To Protect the Security of the United States, December 16, 2025, and to address the lack of screening, vetting, and the threat to national security and public safety.
 
However, on Friday, June 5, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island in Dorcas Int'l Inst. of R.I. v. USCIS, issued a decision entirely vacating the two policy memoranda and modifications to the USCIS Policy Manual announced in PA-2025-26. USCIS strongly disagrees with the Court’s order but will follow its terms pending possible further judicial review. USCIS will not follow any of the vacated policy guidance and is taking immediate steps to lift all remaining final adjudication holds described in PM-602-0192 and PM-602-0194, to comply with the decision. Additionally, USCIS will no longer apply PA-2025-26 in any future decisions, in compliance with the court order.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with a live agent from the Premium Processing unit, but it seems impossible. I’m calling 866-315718
How can I get a human to talk?

I talked to an agent today and she said my silent update in the 22nd just means they the hold was lifted on my case (EAD and AOS). When should I expect another update or approval?

I have a landing H1B renewal (over a year waiting even after PP), but we also filed my i485 and i765 this year. Could my AOS/EAD be approved even if the h1B renewal is still pending? I’ve been unable to work for months now.

Hello, I received a silent update on my I-485 and I-765 on June 16. But today I checked again and it says I got another silent update on my I-765 on June 22 (not in the 485). What do you think this means?

Thanks :)
