USCIS Policy Updates Affecting 19 Countries: Know Who They Are and What Happens from Now On

A new USCIS policy change is creating delays, uncertainty, and serious consequences for immigrants from certain countries. If you or a loved one is affected, this update is critical. On December 16, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST, Atty. Lilian Chukwurah of Lilly Legal breaks down the latest USCIS policy memo issued on December 2, 2025. The memo impacts applicants from 19 high-risk countries, including Afghanistan, Burma, and Venezuela, and affects a wide range of immigration applications. The policy places an indefinite hold in some instances, requires mandatory interviews for all applicants, and introduces enhanced security screenings. USCIS is also reviewing past approvals for individuals who entered the U.S. after January 20, 2021, from these countries. These changes have led to significant delays and uncertainty, even for long-term residents and individuals with previously approved cases. Asylum applications are currently on hold, and USCIS has warned that premium processing cannot be used to bypass these new restrictions. Atty. Chukwurah explains what this means in practice, how to manage expectations, and why staying informed and cautious is more crucial than ever.
