Are you a dual U.S. citizen who uses a foreign passport when traveling abroad? Conflicting information about passport use can create unnecessary fear, especially when you're preparing to return to the United States.

Join Lilly Legal on July 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah addresses concerns about U.S. citizens whose passports may be questioned or confiscated after using a foreign passport to enter another country and then attempting to return to the United States with their American passport.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah explains the distinction between U.S. passport requirements and the passport requirements of other countries. U.S. citizens, including dual citizens, are generally required to use their U.S. passport when entering and leaving the United States. However, using a foreign passport to enter or exit another country does not automatically mean that a person has violated U.S. law or placed their U.S. citizenship at risk. She also emphasizes the importance of verifying immigration and travel information through reliable sources rather than relying on social media claims or rumors. Most importantly, dual citizens should understand that using a foreign passport for travel abroad does not, by itself, mean they will lose their U.S. citizenship. Loss of citizenship involves specific legal circumstances, including formal denaturalization for naturalized citizens.

Watch this Immigration Tip from Lilly Legal to understand the rules surrounding dual citizenship, U.S. passports, and international travel. If your passport has been confiscated or you have encountered a serious issue with U.S. immigration or border authorities, seek qualified legal guidance about your specific situation.

In addition, she covers ICE's record enforcement activity, the Department of Justice's expanded denaturalization initiative targeting fraudulently obtained citizenship, and the restructuring of U.S. consular services across Africa into regional processing hubs.

The August 2026 Visa Bulletin is now here and it brings major movement in several family-based immigration categories, creating a potentially valuable opportunity for applicants who have been waiting for their priority dates to become current.

Join Lilly as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah breaks down the August 2026 Visa Bulletin and explains the significant advancements that could affect families waiting for green cards. With the fiscal year ending in September, applicants may have a limited window to take action before visa availability changes again.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah discusses the major movements in the family-based preference categories. The F2A category, covering spouses and children of lawful permanent residents, advanced approximately 18.5 months on the Final Action Date chart. F1 advanced nearly 11 months, F4 moved forward by eight months, and F2B advanced by nearly seven months. The F3 category also moved after a prolonged period with little or no advancement. These significant changes are attributed in part to unused visa numbers from countries affected by travel restrictions and other limitations. However, visa numbers are limited, and the fiscal year ends in September, meaning this opportunity may not last. Applicants who are eligible to file should review their priority dates and act promptly, especially if they are not affected by current travel restrictions. Visa availability could change or reset when the new fiscal year begins in October.

Watch this Immigration Tip to understand the August 2026 Visa Bulletin and what these major advancements could mean for your immigration case. Check your priority date, understand your visa category, and speak with an immigration attorney to determine whether you can take action before this potential window closes.

Did you get married shortly after meeting your spouse? A quick marriage does not automatically mean your green card application will be denied, but it can attract additional scrutiny from USCIS.

Join Lilly Legal as Atty. Lilian Chukwurah explains how to prove the legitimacy of a fast marriage in a marriage-based green card application. Learn what USCIS is really looking for and how you can build a strong case from the very beginning.

In this Immigration Tip, Atty. Chukwurah explains that USCIS focuses on detecting marriage fraud—not simply the length of a relationship. She discusses the importance of documenting financial entanglement through joint bank accounts, shared bills, insurance policies, leases, and other financial records. She also explains how communication history, photographs, travel records, and detailed relationship timelines help establish a genuine marriage. Viewers will learn why third-party affidavits from friends, coworkers, religious leaders, and community members often carry more weight than statements from immediate family. She also shares common mistakes that weaken applications, including delaying financial integration, submitting inconsistent information, relying too heavily on family affidavits, and memorizing interview answers instead of providing truthful, consistent responses. Finally, she explains how mock interviews and early evidence collection can significantly strengthen a marriage-based green card application.

Watch this Immigration Tip and learn how to confidently prepare a strong marriage-based green card application—even if your relationship moved quickly. If you want help organizing your evidence or preparing for your USCIS interview, schedule a consultation with Lilly Legal today.
