Terminating Asylum Status in Deciding Applications for Adjustment of Status

375px-USCIS_logo_English.svg

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is issuing policy guidance in the USCIS Policy
Manual to update and clarify the procedures USCIS officers follow when termination of asylum
status is considered in relation to adjudicating an asylum-based adjustment of status application.

One might worry that the issuance of the guidance will chill asylees from seeking adjustment of status.
