The Trump administration reversed its policy requiring non-citizens to apply for green cards from their home countries, stating the rule would be applied on a case-by-case basis. The Department of Homeland Security clarified the previous announcement was not a universal requirement.

The Trump administration announced a policy requiring immigrants applying for green cards to return to their home countries for processing, affecting temporary visa holders and those seeking legal status through family sponsorship. Critics, including advocacy groups and tech leaders, argue the policy will disrupt industries and harm families.

Foreigners in the US temporarily seeking green cards must now return to their home countries to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. The policy change was announced by a US Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman, aiming to align immigration practices with legal intent.

The Trump administration's USCIS announced a major policy shift requiring green card applicants currently in the U.S. to leave the country and apply through consular processing from their home countries, with only extraordinary circumstances eligible for adjustment of status. The policy applies to noncitizens on temporary visas such as student, tourist, or work visas, regardless of family ties to U.S. citizens. Critics argue the policy will cause humanitarian concerns and processing delays for those with U.S. citizen spouses and children.

The Trump administration's USCIS announced a major policy shift requiring green card applicants already in the U.S. to leave the country and apply through consular processing from their home countries, with only extraordinary circumstances exempted. The policy affects noncitizens on temporary visas including students, tourists, and temporary workers, and the administration argues it reflects the original intent of immigration law, though critics raise concerns about humanitarian impacts and separation of families with U.S. citizen members.

The Trump administration is temporarily transferring immigration lawyers from USCIS to the Justice Department to accelerate denaturalization cases against naturalized American citizens. The effort aims to identify fraud in the legal immigration system, with DOJ officials having shortlisted 385 people for denaturalization charges. Despite high legal burdens of proof required for these cases, the administration has prioritized denaturalization as a key policy goal.
