The Trump administration announced a new rule requiring most green-card applicants to apply from outside the United States, reversing a long-standing practice that allowed many foreigners living in the U.S. on temporary visas to file from within the country. Immigration lawyers warn this change could affect hundreds of thousands of applicants annually and represents an escalation in efforts to curtail legal migration.
