August 19, 2025 PA-2025-16 Policy Alert SUBJECT: Clarifying Discretionary Factors in Certain Immigration Benefit Requests Purpose U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual regarding the factors that officers may consider in certain benefit requests where an exercise of discretion is required, including factors relating to aliens’ past requests for parole and any involvement in anti-American or terrorist organizations. Background For certain immigration benefit requests, such as adjustment of status, the alien bears the burden of proof to demonstrate that a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted.1 For these benefit requests, the discretionary analysis is a separate component of adjudicating the benefit request which occurs after an officer determines whether all threshold eligibility requirements have been met. The act of exercising discretion involves weighing positive and negative factors and considering the totality of the circumstances in each case. There are various factors officers may consider when conducting a discretionary analysis, including facts relating to an alien’s conduct, character, family ties, immigration history, and any humanitarian concerns. USCIS guidance provides that an alien’s compliance with immigration laws is a relevant factor when determining if a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted. USCIS is updating the Policy Manual to provide additional guidance for officers on the significant negative discretionary weight USCIS assigns in circumstances where an alien has endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused the views of a terrorist organization or group, including those who support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities, antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations, and antisemitic ideologies, in any case involving an exercise of discretion.2 In cases where the alien has engaged in such activities, USCIS will enforce all relevant …
NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.
