President Donald Trump's administration has announced a new policy requiring green card seekers to apply from their home countries instead of in the U.S. This change has left many immigrants and attorneys confused and concerned. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the change Friday, affecting hundreds of thousands of applicants each year. It’s unclear what exceptions might be allowed, although USCIS indicated to The Associated Press that people who provide an “economic benefit” or “national interest” could likely apply from the U.S. The move is part of a pivot by Trump's Republican administration to target legal pathways to immigration, after focusing since last year mostly on migrants in the U.S. illegally.
