Travel bans and USCIS pauses are quietly reshaping the immigration landscape, and many applicants don’t realize how deeply these changes could affect their visas and green card cases.

In the first Immigration Tip of 2026 from Lilly Legal, airing on January 20, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST, Atty. Lilian Chukwurah breaks down the real impact of recent presidential proclamations and USCIS actions. She explains how the June 4, 2025, travel ban initially affected 13 countries with partial and full visa restrictions, and how the December 18, 2025, proclamation expanded that list to 18 countries, adding nations such as Burkina Faso and Syria. She also discusses the ongoing USCIS pause impacting applicants from 75 countries, including Nigeria, where visa approvals are currently not being issued.

These developments can delay or completely stall visa and green card applications if you’re not prepared. Atty. Chukwurah explains why staying informed is critical and why continuing your immigration process, even during pauses or bans, may help you avoid longer delays once restrictions are lifted. This insight can make the difference between being ready when doors reopen or being pushed further back in line.

Join us on January 20, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST to understand how travel bans and USCIS pauses may affect you or your loved ones. Stay proactive, keep your case moving, and consider booking a strategy session with Lilly Legal to navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.

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.
