Do USCIS rules change frequently?

Yes. U.S. immigration rules, including USCIS policies, can be reviewed and adjusted over time as priorities shift, new guidance is issued, or legal interpretations evolve. These updates can affect both the application process and eligibility for visas such as the EB-2 NIW.

That is precisely why the most reliable content focuses on explaining the concept and mechanism of a visa rather than figures or details that can quickly become outdated. For anything that changes over time, the official source is always the right reference.

A few good practices to stay on top of changes:

• Check the USCIS website and official U.S. government publications directly.
• Be cautious of unverified information online and of promises of guaranteed outcomes.
• Consider working with qualified professionals who can interpret the rules as they apply to your specific case.

Staying informed through trusted channels is the best way to understand how any change may affect your situation and to plan your next steps with confidence.
