US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a new policy requiring foreigners temporarily in the U.S. who are seeking permanent residency (green cards) to return to their home countries to apply. This change, effective immediately, aims to ensure the immigration system operates as intended and discourages the use of loopholes. A USCIS spokesman stated that exceptions will only be made in extraordinary circumstances. This policy shift means individuals currently in the U.S. on temporary status must now leave the country to pursue a green card, rather than applying domestically.
