"Changes to Spousal Immigration Laws Leave American Couples in Limbo In a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, the administration has announced a major overhaul of the rules governing the entry of spouses of American citizens. Historically, spouses of U.S. citizens have been granted a special status, allowing them to easily obtain green cards and eventually become naturalized citizens. However, immigration lawyers claim that these traditional protections are no longer in place, leaving thousands of couples facing uncertainty and potential deportation. As the rules change, many American citizens are finding themselves separated from their loved ones, sparking concerns about the future of family reunification in the United States."
Spouses of U.S. citizens have traditionally had a special place in immigration law. That's no longer the case, according to the administration and immigration lawyers.
