Trump administration's new green card policy would require immigrants to leave US during application process
By
Wendy Fry
Summary
The Trump administration issued a sweeping new policy directive before Memorial Day that would have required most temporary visa holders and humanitarian parolees living in the U.S. to return to their home countries to await green card processing, reversing a longstanding policy that allowed immigrants to remain in the U.S. during this period. The policy created confusion and conflicting signals, as it represented a significant shift in legal immigration procedures.
