Basically, what this means is that if an individual applies for a benefit such as adjustment of status (green card), change of status from one non-immigrant visa to another, a U/T visa, and the application is denied, the individual will be placed in removal proceeding if they are deemed to be out of status or have no other authorization to remain in the United States.



Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and requestors are exempted from this updated guidance under a separate memo issued concurrently, which means USCIS will continue to not refer DACA beneficiaries for removal proceedings and will not share their information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). USCIS is supposed to follow the 2011 memo when deciding to issue NTAs to DACA beneficiaries.
