| 5/1/26 |  Episode 291: Can the Government End TPS Without Due Process? Court Says NO! | Can the government strip you of your Temporary Protected Status overnight, without warning or a chance to defend yourself? In 2025, a major federal court ruling made it clear: No— The U.S. government cannot legally take away TPS suddenly or in secret. Courts have made clear that the government must follow the law, give proper notice, and explain its decisions. TPS holders have legal protections, and government actions can be challenged in court. If you or someone you know is under TPS, this information is for you. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||

However, your online presence has been part of visa screening for several years, and it still matters. And lately, we are seeing policy shifts within embassies and consulates with increased vetting for H-1B and H-4 holders to the point where interviews are being pushed back months without explanation. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||
| 4/4/26 |  Episode 279: Wage-Based H-1B Selection Rule Finalized for 2026: What Employers and Applicants Should Know | The Department of Homeland Security has finalized a rule that shifts the H-1B selection process from a random lottery to a wage-level-based system. Effective February 27, 2026, this rule applies to H-1B cap registrations for the Fiscal Year 2027 filing season. The wage-based H-1B selection system is a major shift, favoring competitive compensation and strategic planning. Employers and workers must begin preparing now to stay ahead. If you need help aligning your H-1B strategy with the new system, schedule a consultation with Direct U.S. Immigration today. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||
| 4/2/26 |  Episode 278: Alternatives If You Are Not Selected in the H-1B Lottery: Immigration Options for International Professionals in 2026 | Each year, the demand for H-1B visas significantly exceeds the number of available visas under the annual cap. When USCIS conducts the H-1B lottery, only a portion of registrations are selected. This means many qualified applicants are not chosen even though they meet all eligibility requirements. If your registration was not selected, it simply means your employer cannot file an H-1B petition for this cycle under the cap. However, several other visa options may still allow you to remain in the United States or pursue employment. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Episode 277: H-1B Lottery 2026 Results and Selection Process: How USCIS Selects Registrations and What Happens Next | Today, we'll be discussing the H-1B lottery results for 2026, including how the selection process works and what happens after USCIS chooses the registrations. Employers first submit an electronic registration through the USCIS system. If the number of registrations exceeds the available visas, which they typically do, USCIS conducts a random selection process—commonly known as the H-1B lottery. This year, the lottery is wage-weighted, meaning those with level 4 wages will have a higher likelihood of selection, than those with level 1, level 2, and level 3 wages. Broken down even further, this means that individuals who are early on in their career, are less likely to be selected. Only registrations selected in this lottery may proceed to file a full H-1B petition. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Exclusive Episode: Premium Processing Fees Have Increased: What You Need to Know Now | As of March 1, 2026, USCIS has increased the premium processing fee for several employment-based immigration filings. This fast-track option still allows for quicker decisions—typically within 15 days—but now comes at a higher cost. If you are planning to file, it's important to factor in the updated fees when planning your strategy and budget. Premium processing continues to offer expedited service for certain forms. For an additional fee, USCIS guarantees a 15-day response—either a decision or a request for evidence. If the agency does not respond within that timeframe, the premium processing fee is refunded. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||

| 3/26/26 |  Episode 275: U.S. Government Reviewing Asylum & Green Card Cases: What This Means in 2026 | The U.S. government has increased reviews of asylum, refugee, and green card cases, raising concerns for applicants nationwide. In this Podcast, we explain what these reviews involve, why cases may be delayed or re-examined, and how applicants can protect themselves. If you have a pending or approved case, this update may directly affect you. USCIS issued Policy Memorandum PM-602-0192 in early December 2025 directing U.S. immigration officers to place certain applications on hold and conduct thorough case reviews for individuals from specific countries deemed "high-risk." This is part of an overall national security response, as explained by USCIS in the memo itself. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos | — | ||||||
