The new year begins, but major U.S. immigration changes from 2025 remain in effect, continuing to impact families, workers, and future applicants in 2026.

In the first Immigration Tip of the year, airing January 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST, Atty. Lilian Chukwurah of Lilly Legal explains which immigration policies continue into 2026 and why they matter. She details expanded travel bans that now affect 19 countries, after removing one and adding new ones, which impact both immigrant and non-immigrant visas. She also describes how the NTA memo now encourages deportation proceedings for individuals with pending applications who authorities deem deportable.

Atty. Chukwurah outlines additional changes applicants need to prepare for, including: indefinitely suspending the Diversity Visa lottery with new requirements and a $1 fee, requiring a more rigorous naturalization test with 128 questions and a higher passing score, increasing scrutiny of social media activity during visa adjudications, imposing new filing fees without fee waivers, and updating CSPA calculations to base them on the final action date—causing more children to age out. You must understand these changes to protect your case and plan correctly in 2026.

The expanded U.S. travel ban is changing who can enter the U.S. or obtain visas. These changes could affect families, workers, and travelers worldwide.

On December 16, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST, Atty. Lilian Chukwurah of Lilly Legal explains the expanded travel ban, which covers additional African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian countries under the Trump administration. Full and partial bans now affect numerous nations, including Burkina Faso, Laos, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Syria, Palestine, Angola, and Nigeria.

Atty. Chukwurah explains these changes, including the removal of exemptions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. She shows how the bans limit non-immigrant visas and, as of January 1, 2026, those outside the United States without a visa. Understand these rules to prevent denials, delays, or family separation.

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 on certain cases, 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 important than ever.
