The U.S. government announced a major policy shift regarding green card applications. Most foreign nationals seeking permanent residency will now need to apply from outside the United States. This decision could impact many individuals residing in the U.S. on temporary visas.
Joseph Edlow, the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, highlighted this change. It represents an effort to tighten control over legal immigration processes.
Immigration lawyers have expressed concerns about the broader implications of this move. They note that hundreds of thousands of people might face disruptions because of the new requirement. Applicants, previously eligible to apply within the country, will now need to navigate the process from abroad.
This policy marks an escalation in the administration’s approach to limit legal migration avenues.
