New Immigration Rules: The US government has now implemented extremely strict regulations for foreign nationals. Consequently, applying for a Green Card while physically present within the United States will now be significantly more difficult than it was previously.
What is a Green Card? Recently, the US government made a major decision to enact significant changes to immigration regulations for foreign nationals. Under these new rules, Green Card regulations will now strictly apply to individuals residing in the US on non-immigrant visas—such as student, tourist, or work visas—who wish to apply for permanent residency.
What Exactly Are the Old and New Rules?
Previously, individuals present in the US on a valid temporary visa could apply to change their immigration status while remaining within the country. This process was formally known as "Adjustment of Status." Through this mechanism, individuals could easily obtain a Green Card without ever having to leave the United States.
However, under the new regulations, this avenue for obtaining US permanent residency has been severely restricted. Permission to apply for a Green Card while residing in the US will now be granted only in very specific and exceptional circumstances. USCIS officials have been issued strict directives to meticulously examine the specific facts of each individual case to determine whether or not a Green Card should be granted.
What is the Primary Objective Behind This Change?
On the other hand, in instances where they failed to obtain a Green Card, many individuals would previously simply remain in the US illegally; the new regulations are designed to put a complete stop to this practice. Furthermore, this new rule is expected to address major loopholes within the immigration system, thereby ensuring that those who follow the proper application procedures are given a fair opportunity. Additionally, this new framework is expected to help alleviate the administrative workload on USCIS offices located within the United States.
