Trump's Green Card Shakeup Sparks Global Chaos

Green Card Process Upended

US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a new policy memo last week, affecting hundreds of thousands of visa holders and families. The memo requires many foreigners in the US to leave the country and obtain green cards through their home countries.

The policy change has sparked confusion and fear among immigration advocates and lawyers. Many foreigners who have been living and working in the US for years may now face a lengthy and uncertain process to secure permanent residency. The memo's impact is expected to be far-reaching, affecting not just individuals but also families and businesses.

Will Families be Torn Apart?

The new policy effectively reverses a long-standing practice that allowed many foreigners to adjust their status to permanent resident without leaving the US. Now, they will be required to return to their home countries to complete the green card process, which can be a lengthy and bureaucratic process.

Immigration lawyers say the policy change will cause significant disruption to families and businesses. „This is a major change that will have a huge impact on people's lives,”said one lawyer. The policy change is also expected to lead to a significant increase in the number of people seeking to obtain green cards, which could lead to a backlog in the system.

The policy change has raised concerns that families may be torn apart, with some members forced to leave the US while others remain. The uncertainty surrounding the policy change has already caused anxiety among those affected, with many unsure of what the future holds.
