US says temporary visa holders should leave to apply for Green Cards | Donald Trump News

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued new guidance stating that obtaining a Green Card within the US is discretionary, not automatic. The Department of Homeland Security said this policy aims to ensure immigration procedures are followed rather than allowing individuals to remain in the US while seeking permanent residency through "loopholes." Rights groups criticized the move, warning it could force vulnerable migrants to return to unsafe conditions while awaiting decisions on their applications.
