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. 👉 [FREE E-book] Ultimate Marriage Green Card Guide Download the No-Cost Guide here: https://www.MarriageImmigrationLaw.com Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction & current state of marriage green cards 2026 0:30 - The May 22, 2026 USCIS policy change explained 1:16 - Recent approvals for Canadian spouses despite new rules 2:03 - Immigrant intent: what it means & why it matters now 2:48 - Consular processing vs. adjustment of status explained 3:15 - K-1 Fiancé visa: pros, cons & is it worth the extra cost? 4:29 - The fraud concern & the Matter of Cavazos case 5:24 - Student visa, TN & work visa holders: what to do now 5:59 - The #1 recommendation attorneys are giving clients today 6:27 - Dual citizenship & administrative processing delays warning 7:23 - Iran, IRGC & travel ban impact on your green card case 7:43 - Canadian birth certificate: long form vs. short form mistake 8:05 - RCMP police certificate: exactly which one the U.S. wants 9:36 - Dual citizens born abroad: do you need a second police certificate? 10:02 - Free guide & how to book a consultation ⚖️ Thinking of getting a lawyer?
