On July 30, the USCISannounced that it will delay the implementation of a recent memoregarding the issuance of Notices To Appear (NTAs) to foreign national who fallout of status when their immigration petition is denied.  The issuance of an NTA initiates deportationproceedings.
On June 28, 2018 the USCIS issued a newpolicy memorandum which instructed USCIS Officers to initiatedeportation proceedings for those foreign nationals’ whose immigration petitionwas denied after their I-94 card had already expired.  Generally, when the USCIS creates a newpolicy the USCIS delays implementation of the policy until a guidance memo canbe issued.  The June 28, 2018 memo didnot give a date specific on which the policy would be implemented, meaning it wouldbe implemented immediately.
Today’s announcement indicates the newNTA policy not be implemented until the USCIS guidance is issued.  The announcement also confirms that USCIS is not currentlyinitiating deportation proceedings for those whose immigration petitions aredenied after their I-94 cards expire.
