The Trump administration has announced a significant policy change requiring foreigners in the United States seeking green cards to return to their home countries to apply. This new directive, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), affects various groups, including individuals married to U.S. citizens and those on work or student visas. The policy has raised concerns among immigration advocates and legal experts, who warn that it could lead to prolonged family separations and complicate the immigration process, particularly in countries where visa processing is already limited. USCIS indicated that exceptions may be made in "extraordinary circumstances," but did not provide further details on how these would be determined or the implications for those with pending applications.
