Major Update for U.S. Citizenship Applicants

USCIS is bringing back in-person "neighborhood checks," a policy not widely used since the 1990s. The purpose is to verify your "good moral character".

This means they may interview your neighbors, employer, and coworkers to verify your application info and confirm you meet the "good moral character" requirement.

💡 For Applicants: Consider submitting letters of recommendation from your community to support your application.

The U.S. Department of State is launching a pilot program on August 20 that may require select applicants for B-1/B-2 visas to post a bond of up to $15,000. This one-year pilot program aims to reduce visa overstays. The bonds, which can be set at $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000, will be fully refunded if the traveler leaves the U.S. on time. The program targets applicants from countries with high visa overstay rates. The U.S. government will release a list of the specific countries at least 15 days before the program begins.
