USCIS updates

April 06, 2025

Here are a couple of policy updates from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

- Atty. Marco F. G. Tomakin

The first is in line with the administration's executive order, "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."

Thus effective April 2, 2025, USCIS is returning to its historical policy of recognizing two biological sexes --male and female. The USCIS, in updating its policy manual, provides guidance in saying that the agency considers a person's sex as that which is generally evidenced on the birth certificate issued at or nearest to the time of birth. If the birth certificate issued at or nearest to the time of birth indicates a sex other than male or female, USCIS will base the determination of sex on secondary evidence.
