Trump administration requires green card applicants to leave US to apply

US Green Card Applicants Must Leave Country to Apply

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that green card applicants will now be required to return to their home countries to apply for the visa.

According to a policy memo issued by USCIS, adjustment of status requests must be completed outside of the United States. This change affects non-immigrant visa holders who are seeking to obtain a green card through the adjustment of status process.

The new policy requires applicants to submit their applications from abroad, rather than in the United States. This means that individuals who have been living and working in the US without proper documentation will need to leave the country to apply for a green card.

The Trump administration has stated that this change is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the green card application process. However, critics argue that it may cause difficulties for individuals who are already living in the US and do not have the means or resources to travel abroad.

The policy memo was issued by USCIS, with support from the Department of Homeland Security. The change is effective immediately, and applicants are advised to check the official USCIS website for more information on how to apply under the new policy.

In related news, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will be processing adjustment of status requests from abroad. The agency has established a process for accepting and reviewing applications submitted by individuals outside of the US.

The change is expected to affect hundreds of thousands of individuals who are seeking to obtain a green card through the adjustment of status process. Applicants are advised to carefully review the new policy and seek guidance from an immigration attorney if necessary.
