L-1 visa holders

The Trump administration introduced a policy requiring most green card applicants to initiate the process overseas unless under 'extraordinary' circumstances, causing uncertainty for industries reliant on nonimmigrant visas like H-1B and L-1 holders. While USCIS claims the policy targets fraud and won't affect law-abiding skilled workers, immigration lawyers argue the memo explicitly applies to H-1B and L-1 visa holders, prompting expected legal challenges.
