Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 15:28

The University of Coimbra launched this Thursday, September 3, a new Social Prescription Service in a university context. This service is described as pioneering, marking an innovation in the Portuguese academic landscape.

The service aims to support university students through an approach that goes beyond traditional medicine, connecting students to resources and activities in the local community. Social prescription emerges as a tool to promote the overall well-being of students.

This new service is part of a broader trend of valuing the integral health of university students, recognizing that academic success is linked to social and community factors. The university thus assumes a proactive role in monitoring its students.

Pending asylum and green card through marriage: be careful before withdrawing the application

The article warns about the risks of withdrawing a pending asylum application when seeking permanent residence through marriage to an American citizen. According to the USCIS NTA issuance policy published in February 2025, withdrawal of an asylum application is among the circumstances in which the agency may issue an NTA, initiating removal proceedings. The text highlights that the two processes — asylum and adjustment of status through marriage — can coexist, but have their own rules and different consequences depending on the manner of entry into the US, immigration history, and stage of each process. The guidance is that any decision to withdraw asylum should only be made after consultation with a licensed immigration attorney, as a pending application does not equate to legal immigration status and withdrawal may create unnecessary procedural risks.
