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.

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.

Start the year informed. Join the first Immigration Tip from Lilly Legal on January 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST to gain practical strategies, accurate updates, and answers to questions needed to successfully navigate ongoing immigration changes this year.
