Trump administration orders green card applicants to leave the US, apply from their home countries
The Trump administration has announced a significant change in immigration policy requiring green card applicants to leave the U.S. and apply from their home countries. This policy applies even to those who are legally in the U.S. and have family members who are citizens. The administration claims this move aligns with the original intent of immigration laws and aims to reduce illegal residency after application denials.

- ▪Green card petitioners will need to wait for their applications to be processed outside the U.S.
- ▪The policy will only allow 'adjustment of status' in extraordinary circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
