Para muitos imigrantes, o ajuste de status tem sido, h\u00e1 muito tempo, um dos caminhos mais importantes para obter resid\u00eancia permanente legal sem sair dos Estados Unidos. O ajuste de status ainda \u00e9 uma via potencial para obter o status de residente permanente legal nos EUA. Se voc\u00ea est\u00e1 considerando solicitar o ajuste de status \u2014 ou j\u00e1 tem um caso pendente \u2014 essa mudan\u00e7a torna o planejamento cuidadoso mais importante do que nunca.<\/p><p><strong>O que mudou?<\/strong><\/p><p>O USCIS emitiu recentemente o Memorando de Pol\u00edtica PM-602-0199, enfatizando que o ajuste de status sob a Se\u00e7\u00e3o 245(a) da INA \u00e9 um <strong>benef\u00edcio discricion\u00e1rio<\/strong> e descrevendo o ajuste como uma forma \"extraordin\u00e1ria\" de al\u00edvio que permite a uma pessoa obter resid\u00eancia permanente estando dentro dos Estados Unidos, em vez de atrav\u00e9s do processamento consular no exterior.<\/p><p>Este memorando baseia-se em linguagem consagrada em leis e jurisprud\u00eancia, reconhecendo que o ajuste de status sempre envolveu discricionariedade. Historicamente, os agentes do USCIS ponderaram fatores positivos e negativos antes de aprovar um caso. O que parece diferente agora \u00e9 a \u00eanfase da administra\u00e7\u00e3o em <strong>O quanto essa an\u00e1lise discricion\u00e1ria pode ser aplicada na pr\u00e1tica. <\/strong>\u00c9 importante destacar que este memorando <strong>N\u00e3o elimina a necessidade de ajuste de status.<\/strong> O ajuste de status continua dispon\u00edvel sob a legisla\u00e7\u00e3o vigente para os candidatos que se enquadram nos requisitos. No entanto, o memorando sugere que os agentes podem avaliar de forma mais criteriosa se uma pessoa merece uma aplica\u00e7\u00e3o favor\u00e1vel do poder discricion\u00e1rio.<\/p><p><strong>Isso afeta pessoas casadas com cidad\u00e3os americanos?<\/strong><\/p><p>Potencialmente. Muitas pessoas presumem que o casamento com um cidad\u00e3o americano resulta automaticamente na aprova\u00e7\u00e3o do ajuste de status. Isso nunca foi totalmente preciso. Por exemplo, certos parentes pr\u00f3ximos de cidad\u00e3os americanos ainda podem ser eleg\u00edveis para o ajuste de status mesmo ap\u00f3s ultrapassarem o prazo do visto ou perderem o status legal, caso atendam aos demais requisitos legais. Mas elegibilidade e aprova\u00e7\u00e3o nem sempre s\u00e3o a mesma coisa.<\/p><p>O USCIS est\u00e1 enfatizando que, mesmo quando algu\u00e9m preenche os requisitos para solicitar a resid\u00eancia permanente, os agentes podem dar maior aten\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 avalia\u00e7\u00e3o das circunst\u00e2ncias gerais, considerando se elas justificam a concess\u00e3o da resid\u00eancia permanente, a seu crit\u00e9rio. Isso faz <strong>sulco<\/strong> Significa que os candidatos devem entrar em p\u00e2nico. Significa que os casos devem ser preparados com cuidado.<\/p><p><strong>Que provas adicionais podem ajudar a fortalecer um processo de ajuste de status?<\/strong><\/p><p>Como os fatores discricion\u00e1rios podem receber maior aten\u00e7\u00e3o, o envio de um pacote de candidatura completo pode se tornar mais importante do que nunca.<\/p><p>No escrit\u00f3rio de advocacia Transparent Justice, trabalhamos com nossos clientes para identificar e apresentar evid\u00eancias que contem toda a hist\u00f3ria \u2014 n\u00e3o apenas que voc\u00ea se qualifica perante a lei, mas por que seu caso merece uma an\u00e1lise favor\u00e1vel.<\/p><p>Dependendo das suas circunst\u00e2ncias, as provas \u00fateis podem incluir:<\/p><ul><li>Evid\u00eancias de <strong>la\u00e7os familiares nos Estados Unidos<\/strong><\/li><li>Provas do seu requerente <strong>medical,<\/strong> <strong>necessidades psicol\u00f3gicas ou emocionais<\/strong><\/li><li>Evid\u00eancias de <strong>dificuldades econ\u00f4micas<\/strong> se sua fam\u00edlia for afetada pela remo\u00e7\u00e3o<\/li><li>Provas do seu requerente <strong>envolvimento e contribui\u00e7\u00f5es para a comunidade<\/strong><\/li><li>Evid\u00eancias de <strong>seus pr\u00f3prios la\u00e7os com a comunidade<\/strong><\/li><li>Evid\u00eancias demonstrando <strong>A\u00e7\u00f5es positivas e raz\u00f5es que justifiquem o exerc\u00edcio favor\u00e1vel da discricionariedade.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Esse tipo de prova geralmente exige mais do que simplesmente coletar documentos.
