On August 28, 2017, USCIS made an announcement stating that they will begin to “phase-in” interviews for employment-based cases effective on October 1, 2017. The announcement stated that “adjustment of status applications based on employment”—i.e., categories EB-1 through EB-5—will be affected. At this time, USCIS has not provided direction on how the “phase-in” process will proceed. Thus, it is unclear whether or not applicants who have already filed adjustment of status will be included in the “phase-in” process.
