USCIS Restricts Green Card Applications to Overseas Processing, Impacting Immigrant Families

USCIS Restricts Green Card Applications to Overseas Processing, Impacting Immigrant Families

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a significant policy change regarding green card applications. As of May 22, the agency will only grant 'adjustment of status' in 'extraordinary circumstances.' This change means that most immigrants currently residing in the United States will need to apply for permanent residency at an American consulate in their home country, rather than adjusting their status while remaining in the U.S. This shift is expected to affect hundreds of thousands of families and individuals, particularly those from countries like India and the Philippines, who are already facing long visa backlogs. The new policy could lead to disruptions in family life and career plans, as applicants may have to leave the U.S. for interviews and wait for their cases to be processed abroad.

Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Criticized for Urging Indian Visa Holders to Return Amid New Green Card Rule

Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Criticized for Urging Indian Visa Holders to Return Amid New Green Card Rule

Sridhar Vembu, the founder of Zoho, has faced backlash for his comments urging Indian visa holders in the U.S. to return to India, citing self-respect, in light of a new U.S. policy. This policy requires most immigrants seeking a green card to return to their home country to apply at an embassy or consulate abroad. Vembu's remarks have sparked significant criticism on social media, with many pointing out the challenges and sacrifices involved in leaving the U.S., such as lower salaries and limited opportunities in India. Critics argue that Vembu's perspective does not account for the realities faced by many immigrants, including corruption, pollution, and limited access to quality education and healthcare in India.
