Em 26 de agosto de 2024, o Tribunal Distrital dos Estados Unidos para o Distrito Leste do Texas, no caso Texas v. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), processo número 24-cv-306, emitiu uma suspensão administrativa que temporariamente impede o Departamento de Segurança Interna (DHS) de conceder "parole in place" (permissão de permanência) sob o programa Mantendo Famílias Unidas
por 14 dias.
Neste caso, o Estado do Texas, juntamente com outros demandantes, alegam que o DHS implementou políticas, que, segundo eles, violam as leis federais de imigração. Especificamente, eles argumentam que as diretrizes atuais do DHS para a fiscalização da imigração e procedimentos de deportação são muito brandas e não cumprem os requisitos legais. Os demandantes alegam que essas políticas enfraquecem a soberania estadual e contribuem para o aumento da imigração ilegal, o que, em sua opinião, tem impactos negativos na segurança pública e nos recursos do estado.
Durante esta suspensão de 14 dias, o USCIS (Serviços de Cidadania e Imigração dos EUA) não aprovará nenhuma solicitação de permissão de permanência pendente sob o programa Manter Famílias Unidas.
No entanto, o USCIS continuará aceitando solicitações de permissões de permanência para certos cônjuges e enteados de cidadãos dos EUA, e continuará a agendar consultas biométricas e capturar a biometria dos solicitantes.
Observe que a ordem de suspensão administrativa do tribunal distrital não afeta
as solicitações aprovadas antes de 26 de agosto de 2024. No momento, o programa está temporariamente suspenso por 14 dias, mas esse prazo pode ser estendido enquanto o tribunal avalia novos argumentos.

Under the new regulation, if a person filed or files Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal after October 1, 2024, and the application remains pending with USCIS for 365 days, the applicant must pay an Annual Asylum Fee (AAF) on the one-year anniversary of his or her filing date.
It’s no secret that the U.S. immigration system has faced increased scrutiny and change in recent months. From evolving policies to headlines filled with uncertainty, it’s understandable that many individuals are left wondering: Is this still the right time to pursue a future in the United States? The answer is yes—and here’s why. Despite the shifting political landscape, the core structure of U.S. immigration law remains firmly in place. While the process may appear more complex or demanding than it once was, the legal pathways to live, work, and thrive in the United States are still open and accessible to those who take the proper steps. What often gets lost in the conversation is that the United States remains a country built on innovation, creativity, and resilience. It continues to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals from all walks of life. Whether you are launching a business, advancing your career, or seeking a better life for your family, the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to those who are prepared and determined. Much of what makes the United States a global economic and technological leader today is the direct result of contributions made by immigrants. Nearly half of the current Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrant entrepreneurs have long been an essential part of America’s economic success story. Some of the largest and most recognizable American companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. This includes household names such as Apple and Costco. Moderna, the pharmaceutical company and vaccine producer, was founded by a Canadian-born stem cell biologist, Derrick J. Rossi, whose parents themselves emigrated from Malta. These success stories are not outliers; they are part of a broader pattern that reflects the drive, innovation, and resilience that immigrants bring to the country. The United States also offers one of the most dynamic and diverse economies in the world. It is a place where hard work, fresh ideas, and entrepreneurial vision are rewarded. For creative professionals, business leaders, and investors, the United States provides a unique platform to grow, connect, and gain global influence. Its competitive marketplace, access to capital, and culture of innovation create unmatched opportunities for those ready to seize them. While the immigration process requires careful planning, that process is far from impossible. Indeed, having strong legal guidance is one of the most effective advantages an applicant can possess. Immigration law is complex, and each case must be evaluated individually. A clear, strategic plan tailored to your background and goals can significantly improve your chances of success. What may feel like a hurdle at first glance is often navigable with solid preparation and documentation.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals from Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal, Haiti, and Cameroon. These longstanding protections are set to expire, putting many individuals at risk of deportation.
