The Trump administration announced Friday that most US green card applicants must now complete the process from their home countries, the report said. Previously, applicants could adjust status while in the US. Experts warn the rule could separate families, delay residency, and disrupt industries relying on skilled foreign workers, including technology, healthcare and scientific research.
Washington: A major immigration policy announcement by the Donald Trump administration has once again pushed America’s green card system into the spotlight, leaving many immigrants anxious about their future in the United States.
The administration announced on Friday that individuals applying for a US green card, officially known as permanent residency, will now generally be required to complete the process from their home countries 'except in extraordinary circumstances.'
The move has drawn sharp criticism from immigration experts, lawyers and technology industry leaders, who warn it could separate families and create uncertainty for thousands of legal immigrants already living and working in the US.
Amid the debate, confusion has resurfaced around two key immigration terms often used interchangeably, green card and US citizenship. While both allow immigrants to legally stay in America, they offer very different rights, protections and long-term security.
