The two I-129 grace periods end one day apart - check every petition still in your outbox

Two Form I-129 grace periods end one day apart. The old 02/27/26 edition is rejected from November 9, but the old mailing address still works through November 9. Petitions already printed and waiting are the risk. GlobalCodio checks every package against the day it actually ships.

Canada brings back Express Entry job-offer points without the LMIA - and your occupation codes just became the score

On November 3, Express Entry adds up to 150 points for high-wage work or job offers, drops the LMIA for qualifying offers, and pauses draws for two weeks. The points table is easy. Re-coding, re-scoring and evidencing a whole Canadian caseload is the work - and the operation GlobalCodio runs.

Eight employers, zero PERM filings - the DOL suspension is a caseload problem before it is a policy problem

On October 8, 2026 the DOL stopped accepting and processing PERM applications for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini. No end date, no written notice yet. The hard part is not reading the news - it is finding every affected case in time. GlobalCodio runs that.

Your EB cases skip the Affidavit of Support. They do not skip public charge.

USCIS lists EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 and EB-5 adjustment applicants as subject to the public charge ground - and every derivative spouse and child with them. The I-864 exemption is what makes corporate teams think otherwise. GlobalCodio builds the household file that assumption skipped.

Duration of Status was postponed one day before it took effect - the new forms ship anyway

A federal judge postponed the Duration of Status rule on September 14, one day before it was due to take effect. The new I-539 and I-765 editions take effect on September 15 regardless. Policy and paperwork moved on separate tracks - and a caseload has to be ready for both.

Two ways to get an I-485 rejected on September 18 - and why filing date is now an operating decision

On September 18 the 01/20/25 Form I-485 gets rejected, the 09/18/26 edition cannot be filed a day early, and every case filed from that date meets a much wider public charge standard. Filing date is now a decision - GlobalCodio makes it one your operation can act on.

22 forms, 60 days' notice - the operating problem behind mandatory USCIS e-filing

DHS's interim final rule lets USCIS make any form online-only with 60 days' notice - and 22 forms already qualify. Paper filings then get rejected. Sixty days is not a deadline, it is a re-tooling window, and most operations cannot move that fast. GlobalCodio absorbs it before the notice lands.
