A new Trump administration rule could allow U.S. officials to
deny green card applications months after they are filed and
accepted over invalid or missing signatures on immigration forms,
However, Morgan Bailey, a partner at Mayer Brown and a former
senior official at DHS, told Newsweek that "in some
ways, the rule is welcome because it provides clearer regulatory
notice about USCIS's position on signature defects."
"The concern is not clarity itself; the concern is how the
agency will use that authority," Bailey said. "If USCIS
applies the rule to address genuinely invalid signatures, it may
create more consistency. However, if it becomes a basis for denying
otherwise approvable cases over technical or curable signature
issues, the practical consequences could be significant."
