On August 1, 2025, the USCIS issued a news release announcing that it is re-establishing a uniform baseline of screening and vetting standards, effective immediately.
.
This update, reflected in the USCIS Policy Manual, revives more stringent criteria for interviews and background checks. The USCIS may be stepping up “Stokes–style” interviews, in which spouses are questioned separately and compared for inconsistencies to expose potential fraud.
.
