On September 19, 2025, President Trump issued a Proclamation imposing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions for beneficiary employees outside of the U.S., which went into effect on September 21, 2025.
On June 8, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated this $100,000 fee, determining that the President lacked the power to issue and implement the payment requirement on certain H-1B visa applications.
This provides immediate relief to those impacted by the fee on H-1B visa petitions.

USCIS has issued new guidance that may make Adjustment of Status approvals more difficult. While the legal requirements have not changed, the new memo appears to give officers broader discretion in deciding green card applications filed from within the U.S.
This could mean more uncertainty — and for some applicants, a longer path through consular processing abroad.
We’re closely tracking these changes and advising clients on what they may mean moving forward.

As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, we take a moment to honor and remember those who admirably gave their lives to serve our nation. While we hope you enjoy time with family and loved ones, we hope you also pause to remember the true meaning of the holiday.
Here are some ways to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice:
- Visit a national memorial or cemetery
- Wear a red poppy
- Observe a national moment of remembrance @ 3pm local time
- Fly the stars & stripes at half staff 🇺🇸🩶
Thank you Wounded Warrior Project @wwp for giving us some history on the holiday and explaining the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. https://t.co/qggqzblC4f

We asked a few attorneys to give us one word they would use to describe the Davis Malm administrative staff. Talking about our staff also wouldn’t be complete without a word from our Executive Director, Keith Buohl.
Keith never shies away from an opportunity to talk about our “unstoppable team.”
We are so grateful for our amazing staff who go above and beyond – every day - to support the firm and its clients! We thank you and admire you for all that you do! Cheers to you! 🥂❤️

38s
It's our 47-year anniversary today and we're officially in our new office space!
We celebrated our first day at 255 State Street with a delicious breakfast in our beautiful new café.
We are energized by the opportunity to bring our team and clients into a space that reflects who we are today and where we’re headed.
Moving is never an easy task, and this move involved packing, purging and organizing 43 years’ worth of work and memories. We are not surprised by the efforts of everyone at Davis Malm, including our incredible staff who all pulled together – in true Davis Malm team fashion – to make all of this happen. Special shout out to Keith Buohl, our incredible Executive Director, who led this effort tirelessly…and with a lot of patience.
Many places talk about teamwork and culture – but Davis Malm truly lives it.
Come along for an office tour as we continue to unpack and settle into our new home!
