Trump administration to force foreigners in the US to apply for a green card abroad
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Trump administration has announced a significant policy change requiring foreigners in the U.S. seeking green cards to return to their home countries to apply. This reversal of a long-standing practice has raised concerns among immigration lawyers and aid organizations. Previously, individuals with legal status, including those married to U.S. citizens and refugees, could apply for permanent residency from within the U.S. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services stated that only those in 'extraordinary circumstances' may remain in the U.S. during the application process. Critics warn this could lead to family separations and confusion over the policy's application.
