K-1 visa, married to a U.S. citizen, I-485 pending, interview in a few days ,should I be worried about the new USCIS policy?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand the new USCIS announcement about adjustment of status and would appreciate hearing your thoughts.
My situation:
I entered the U.S. on a K-1 fiancé visa.
I married my U.S. citizen petitioner within the required timeframe.
I filed my I-485 (Adjustment of Status) in February 2026.
My case is currently pending.
My green card interview is scheduled for May 27, 2026.
My K-1 visa has expired, and my Armenian passport has also expired.
After reading the new USCIS policy announcement and seeing discussions on TikTok, I'm honestly worried. Some people are saying that even if you're married to a U.S. citizen, you may no longer be able to get a green card through adjustment of status and could be required to return to your home country.
Since I already entered on a K-1 visa specifically to marry and apply for permanent residence, and my case is already pending with an interview scheduled, do you think this new policy could affect people in my situation?
Has anyone spoken with an immigration attorney or seen any guidance specifically about pending K-1 adjustment cases?
Thank you.
