.
Visa retrogression may further impact the processing time of immigrant visa petitions.

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.
.

This new policy is a direct response to President Trump’s executive orders aimed at combating antisemitism and protecting the U.S. from individuals who may pose a threat due to extremist or violent ideologies.
