Alert! New Trump Immigration Rules Target Financial Accounts
Recently, a U.S. presidential executive order concerning financial system regulation has drawn significant attention from many immigrant families. On May 19, 2026, Trump signed the executive order titled "Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System." While the title appears to focus on financial regulation, it has quickly sparked concern among the immigrant community because it involves matters such as bank customer identification, ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), and loan risk assessment. Many are worried: Will foreigners still be able to open accounts in the future? Will the use of ITIN be restricted? Can one still obtain a loan without a Green Card? Will banks close accounts?

Renowned U.S. Law Firm Releases Memorandum: Regarding I-485 Adjustment of Status
Recently, the renowned U.S. immigration law firm Miller Mayer released a memorandum interpreting an internal policy memorandum issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on May 21, 2026. The core message of this memorandum is very clear: Adjustment of Status (AOS, i.e., the I-485 process for obtaining a Green Card while in the U.S.) is not a right inherently enjoyed by applicants, but rather an administrative benefit based on the discretionary judgment of immigration officers, and it should not be used to replace the standard overseas consular immigrant visa process.

Family Status Planning: Why do many people choose the U.S.?
In today's world of rising uncertainty, more and more families are beginning to rethink a question: What is the true value of a status worth acquiring? Is it short-term travel convenience, or long-term residency rights? Is it a single status label, or a comprehensive platform for education, career, assets, and family development? Is it a temporary choice, or a long-term plan that can accompany the next generation as they grow? From this perspective, the United States remains a destination of long-term appeal that attracts global immigrant investors. Especially for high-net-worth families who wish to plan ahead for their children's education, family development, career layout, and global asset allocation, the value of U.S. status goes far beyond just a Green Card.
