In a move that is set to significantly alter the lives of thousands of foreigners living in the United States, the Trump administration has unexpectedly announced a major overhaul of the green card application process. As of now, individuals seeking a permanent residency visa, commonly known as a green card, will be required to leave the country and apply from their home nation. This shift in policy marks a departure from the current practice, which has allowed applicants to submit their applications from within the U.S. The change is likely to have far-reaching implications for families, businesses, and individuals who have been relying on the existing process, sparking widespread concern and confusion among those affected.
