I wanted to check after the last update of travel ban June 2018 if a Syrian living in the US can adjust status from TPS to Green Card based on marriage or employment based visa. Were Greencards applications within the US affected?

History will judge harshly the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Decision upholding the constitutionality of the so-called "Travel Ban 3.0." Nonetheless, the Supreme Court's decision is controlling. The "Ban" addresses entry into the U.S., and not adjudication of adjustment of status or change of status applications. Those applicants, however, may be subjected to a particularly thorough security background check and interview process.

The travel ban does not apply to those who have already lawfully entered the US and greencard applications are not affected. You will however be subjected to increase scrutiny. Hire an experienced immigration attorney for the process.
