Trump Admin Shifts Green Card Rules

The Trump administration is reversing a 50-year-old immigration policy, requiring most applicants for permanent residency to return to their home countries to file — unless extraordinary circumstances apply. Officials claim this restores the “original intent” of the law and will curb visa overstays, reduce removals, and prevent illegal stays. But critics warn it risks family separations, creates uncertainty for noncitizens — including those married to U.S. citizens — and could force vulnerable applicants back to unsafe countries without U.S. embassies. With a 1.2 million green card backlog already, opponents say the move hinders legal immigration and may push people into hiding, while legal challenges loom.
