U.S. Immigration Q&A Podcast with JQK Law: Visa, Green Card, Citizenship & More!

The rules just changed and if you or your spouse is applying for a U.S. marriage green card in 2026, this video could save your case. On May 22, 2026, USCIS dropped a vague but major policy update that throws years of precedent out the window, giving officers sweeping discretion to deny adjustment of status applications. Marriage immigration attorney John Khosravi breaks down exactly what this means for Canadians and foreign spouses on tourist visas, student visas, TNs, H-1Bs, and more including whether you should still file inside the U.S. or pivot to consular processing, why the K-1 fiancé visa is suddenly back on the table, how dual citizenship could trigger administrative processing delays, and the specific Canadian police certificate mistake that gets applications rejected. If your green card case is in progress or you're about to start, watch this before you file anything.
