The Trump administration said Friday that people with temporary visas seeking to adjust their immigration status to obtain green cards must return to their home countries to “do so through consular processing,” in a major change from current practice.
“From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a statement. “When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency.”
The statement said that those who come to America on non-immigrant visas, including students, temporary workers and tourists, are expected to be in the United States for a short time and for a specific purpose.
“Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process,” Kahler said.
“Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the State Department at U.S. consular offices abroad and frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under its purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications, and other priorities,” he said in the statement.

Excellent!
WORKS FOR ME........
The movie Green Card.
I never really cared about Andie MacDowell

Brontë (Andie MacDowell), an environmentalist, desperately wants a specific, highly coveted Manhattan apartment that the building’s board will only rent to a married couple. Meanwhile, Georges (Gérard Depardieu) is a French composer and illegal immigrant whose visa has expired. A mutual friend connects them, and they quickly marry—parting ways immediately after the ceremony with no intention of seeing each other again.
“ a major change from current practice”
LOL. Yeah, that’s the law asshat. “But we’ve always done it this way! Not Fair!”
Idk. Could be very inhumane. Should be an asylum exception for Cubans.
Now if Mexicans could just voluntarily deport themselves we could conceivably find a way for them to turn around and return while waiting approval at their jobs. It would only take a few days. Go through the turnstile and register. They won’t go home. Who want’s to go to a place where potholes line the streets and cantinas have no AC? They’d rather be on the lam here than live in a $hithole.
I hope there’s more to this. My son fell in love with a girl from another country while she was a student here. They’ve been married now for 2 years and waiting on her green card application. I hope this doesn’t mean that they’ll be separated. They’re even talking about Evan children soon. This is not good. Not good at all.
There is “more to this”. Tens of millions of illegal aliens ruined it for everyone else. I was wondering when people would connect the dots.
Smart move.
It’s time they drew the line where it belongs
Whoever came up with this idea that will result in self-deportations needs to get a bonus.
“Trump administration says visa holders seeking green cards must apply in home countries, in major change”
(Leftist reaction) “HORRIBLE, just shows how RACIST Trump is.”
(by the way, every other country in the world requires the same...apply in home country)
It’s only for holders of non-immigrant visas. Thank goodness, because this scared the crap out of me when I first read about it.
They should send them ALL back and require all companies to hire US citizens first.
Or put a $100,000/employee per year surcharge on H1-Bs, renewable annually, with the money going to retire the national debt.
I’m pretty sure your daughter in law will fit within the exception. Don’t sweat it.
It’s always been a scam, frankly. The government can do just about anything it wants to, when it sets an objective. Think back - Hoover Dam, Manhattan Project, Project Apollo.
If tens of millions of illegal aliens pour across the borders for decades, you can be sure somebody wants it that way. For too long those elected officials in positions of power have acted like spectators and claimed nothing can be done. It’s all bullshit.
Yes. This sounds like a win.
Remember FWD.us!!!
Billionaire Eric Schmidt Wants More AI Tech AND More Immigration
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/05/18/eric-schmidt-wants-more-ai-and-more-immigration/
Just one indication of what is happening in America.
“In a stunning demographic takeover at the University of Texas at Dallas, White students now make up just 2 out of every 10 on campus, leaving actual Americans as the minority in their own schools. What was once a flagship American university has transformed into a de facto Indian immigration hub, flooded with foreign students exploiting F-1 visas. The fraud is rampant, the cultural erasure is real, and the time has come to shut down all foreign student and work visas before America’s universities are lost forever. This isn’t immigration. It’s an invasion.”
This will keep them honest and legal. No BS loop hole shopping on our dime.
