Unpopular opinion: Not every law firm should keep growing.

If success means taking every case that walks through the door, we’ll happily pass.

We chose peace.
We chose our families.
We chose our current clients.

Maybe that’s bad business but we call it good lawyering. We want to grow the right way, and that means taking a pause to give a 100% to our current clients. 

#lawfirm #slowlawyering #lawyerlife #entreprenuer #immigrationattorneyPublishes in the Federal Register July 17. Takes effect 60 days later, around mid Sept. 
DHS just finalized the rule ending “duration of status” for F, J, and I visa holders. This is the biggest change to international student and exchange visitor programs in decades. Hard end dates on your I-94. A 4 year cap. Extensions through USCIS. Grace period cut in half. And unlawful presence starts the day your admission expires, which means the 3 and 10 year bars are now one missed deadline away. The rule takes effect about 60 days from now. If you or someone you love is on one of these visas, swipe through and share this. #immigration #immigrationlawyer #f1visa #j1visa #internationalstudentsBreaking News: 
Today, on July 16, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security officially rescinded the 2022 Public Charge Rule. The new rule will take effect September 18, 2026, and it gives immigration officers significantly more discretion when deciding whether someone is likely to become a “public charge.”

So what does that actually mean?

Under the 2022 rule, only a very limited category of public benefits—primarily cash assistance (like SSI or TANF) and government-funded long-term institutional care—were considered.

Beginning September 18, immigration officers may once again consider any public benefit as part of the overall circumstances of your case. The rule does not say that receiving a benefit automatically disqualifies you. Instead, officers will look at your entire situation and have much more discretion in making that decision.

⚠️ Before you panic…

This does NOT mean everyone should immediately stop using benefits.

In many situations:
• Benefits received by U.S. citizen children are treated differently.
• Some immigrants are exempt from the public charge rule altogether.
• Whether a benefit matters depends on your immigration category and the facts of your individual case.

Every situation is different.

The biggest mistake people make after announcements like this is acting out of fear before understanding how the law actually applies to them.

If you are planning to apply for:
• A green card
• Adjustment of status
• An immigrant visa
• Certain nonimmigrant visas

…especially after September 18, 2026, it’s worth getting individualized legal advice before making decisions that could affect your family or your benefits.

We’ll be posting more videos over the next few days breaking down:
✔️ Who this rule applies to
✔️ Which benefits may matter
✔️ Who is exempt
✔️ Common myths we’re already seeing online

Questions? Drop them below—we’ll answer as many as we can in upcoming videos.

Consult link in bio if you’d like to discuss your specific case with our office.“Admitted” and “paroled” are not the same thing, and USCIS knows the difference even if you don’t. What you’re considered matters when you apply for a change of status or any immigration benefits.
