@AzPetrich LMAO ratioed and community noted. How embarrassing.
Have you changed your misinformed opinion yet?

So now this asshole wants to remove the cherry trees that line the Potomac! They were a gift from Japan as a gesture of goodwill and friendship in 1912.
I hate him so much.

@Cloudwatch199 @USCISJoe That's not backtracking, that's clarifying the policy because liberal cultists ran with a spin and misinformation to fear monger their base.
English
USCIS spent 24 hours terrifying America’s high-skilled immigrant workforce before quietly backtracking after backlash from tech and business leaders.
Turns out threatening scientists, engineers and AI talent with visa chaos is not exactly a genius economic strategy.
@USCISJoe seems totally unfit for the job.

🔈 PM-601-0199 Update: The Department of Homeland Security clarified the immigration policy it announced on Friday, suggesting that current H1B visa holders could be able to “continue on their current path.” semafor.com/article/05/22/… Request: Please do not send me a direct message asking me to explain what a new policy will mean for your application right after it comes out before we know anything about it. This is the latest example of why premature inquiries are not ideal. A policy rolled out on Friday might be completely different come Saturday. I’m now 261 messages behind in telegram (about 8 days), and this latest surge of premature inquiries could put that backlog out longer. In other words, your patience is an essential part of our ability to help you. 🙏 - @curtismorrison

@TSMERDIST They didn't come into America on a green card. They used other visas that have expiration dates. Big difference.
If you want to become an American, a process is necessary to ensure you'll benefit America. Just like most of Europe.
English
This is exactly what many legal immigrants have been trying to explain.
Forcing students, researchers, physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and workers to leave the United States during green card processing would create enormous instability for people who already followed every legal rule and built lives here in good faith.
Combined with the #USCISpause, these policies are already causing job loss, frozen work authorization, family separation, financial hardship, and deep uncertainty for countless lawful immigrants contributing to America’s economy, universities, hospitals, and research institutions.
A strong immigration system should attract and retain talent, not push it away.

I strongly oppose the Trump administration’s disruptive decision to require many students, temporary visa holders, and other individuals seeking green cards to leave the United States and return to their home countries while their applications are processed. This policy creates unnecessary fear and uncertainty for families, workers, and employers who are following the law. The Administration disregards the fact that many individuals seeking permanent residency are here legally and waiting for their cases to move through an already backlogged immigration system. America has long benefited from attracting top researchers, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators through our legal immigration system and worker visa programs. Forcing these individuals to leave the United States during the green card process will deprive our country of their innovation, their tax contributions, and the many ways they strengthen our economy and communities. As the son of Indian immigrants, I know firsthand that our nation is strengthened by people who come here legally, work hard, and contribute to our communities. We should be reducing processing delays and modernizing our immigration system, not creating additional barriers for people who are following the rules. I support legal challenges to this policy and expect the courts to halt its implementation.
English
@AshRust It's the same system virtually all of EU uses. Why is it only bad when America reverts to a sucessful system we used for decades?
Even UK is looking at tightening it's restrictions for permanent residency.
English
My green card application took ~18 months and I worked in the Bay Area the entire time. This would have sent me back to the UK before I was able to start a company or a fund. It's really damaging.
USCIS@USCIS
USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…
English
We're simply now using the same successful rules as we once did for decades. Why should America have a system that doesn't benefit Americans?
Virtually all EU countries require you to start the process from your home country (or country of legal residence) by applying for a long-stay national D visa (or equivalent) at their embassy/consulate. You cannot typically apply for the initial residence permit — let alone the permanent/long-term EU residency equivalent ("green card") — entirely from inside the country.
English
A functioning immigration system should be secure, fair, predictable, and humane.
Instead, legal immigrants, students, researchers, physicians, engineers, spouses, and families are facing growing uncertainty through policies like the #USCISpause, frozen adjudications, loss of work authorization, and pressure to leave the country despite following every legal rule.
America deserves an immigration system that protects security while also preserving stability, due process, family unity, and the ability to attract global talent.

The US is simply now using the same process we did for decades again.

You hate them too?
English
You study in the US, get an OPT, fall in love and get married, find a job, maybe even have a kid
And then to be a permanent resident you need to quit your job, move away from your family and somehow survive 6 months in a country you left 4 years ago
Ridiculous policy
English
I wouldn't expect any country to allow me to stay permanently without a process to determine my eligibility based on their immigration policies. I would respect those rules.
It's liberal cultists such as your low IQ self who think no rules should be applied that created this crisis, little fella. You've obviously not read up on the subject and are just spewing nonsense.
If you're here on a different type is visa, you no longer can apply for a green card from the US. Most EU countries have this same policy, so the question was- why is America expected to do anything differently? This was our policy for decades, we're simply enforcing it again. This is well within the Executive branches authority. Your whining opinion means squat.
English
@HamDog2011 @SkylineReport He already told you you fucking numpty. Would you like to be separated from your family for 10+ years? A lot of these people will be barred from returning because even though they legally took the family route, if you cross the border now to go home then you're instantly banned.
English
Trump’s new green card policy could create a military family crisis nobody in Washington seems prepared to discuss.
Under the newly announced rule, many immigrants seeking green cards may now be forced to leave the U.S. and apply from abroad instead of adjusting status while remaining here.[1][2]
Now picture the consequences:
An active-duty U.S. soldier deploys to a combat zone.
His wife, a foreign national married to him legally, is suddenly required to leave the country during the immigration process.
Their children are American citizens.
So what happens?
The deployed soldier can’t care for two infants from a war zone.
The mother may be forced overseas for months or longer.
And American children could effectively lose both parents at the same time.
This isn’t “strong national security.”
It’s a policy that risks creating distracted troops, broken military families, and readiness problems entirely by our own hand.
The Pentagon has understood for decades that stable families are part of combat effectiveness. A soldier worrying about abandoned children and an exiled spouse is not fully focused on the mission.
America is now drifting toward a system where service members may have to choose between:
• serving their country
• obeying immigration rules
• or keeping their family together
That isn’t strength.
That’s bureaucratic self-sabotage dressed up as enforcement.

President Trump’s continued attack on legal immigrants is causing chaos and uncertainty. It could impact hundreds of thousands of hardworking students, entrepreneurs, and contributors to our communities by forcing many to leave the United States for years. This doesn’t just hurt immigrant families, it hurts all Americans and American businesses. It also splits up families and loved ones.
With few details and many unanswered questions, we must demand better and a reversal of this approach.
English
Hahaha... just no. Existing US green card holders (lawful permanent residents) do not need to return to their home country and reapply.
The "new green card rules" announced by USCIS on May 22, 2026, do not affect people who already hold green cards. This policy change targets individuals who are currently in the US on temporary/nonimmigrant visas (e.g., students, tourists, some temporary workers) and are seeking to adjust status to permanent residency (get a green card).

My grandmother came to this country as an infant. She built her life here. She eventually got her green card and became part of the fabric of America, like millions before and after her.
That path is what Trump and his administration are now trying to slam shut.
The Trump administration just announced that immigrants already living here who apply for a green card will need to leave the country first, with rare exceptions. That means scientists, doctors, teachers, founders, students, and families could be forced to abandon their lives in America and wait years abroad.
America was built by immigrants like my grandmother. We are stronger because of them, not in spite of them.

Yes, again, why is America expected to go above and beyond what other countries routinely do? This process was common in America until liberals watered it down.
If you want to apply for a green card on the beach of your current visa, do that from your home country. How is that a bad thing?

Reverting back to a process that worked for decades isn't a bad thing.
English
@5minute_witness @Andercot They are here legally if they have a visa. That’s why the government issues them. Congress passed a law so those on a visa can apply to adjust their status to a green card. Following the law is not abuse.
The new policy is a backdoor nullification of that law. It’s not a “fix”.
English
Interesting how the administration campaigned on two big things:
- end wars
- remove illegal immigrants
And instead it has
- started a new war
- remove legal immigrants
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

Why is America always expected to do differently? Once we had similar rules.
English
If you've played by the rules and lawfully waited for years just for a chance at the American dream, Trump now wants you to leave the country, risk your job, and uproot your family to get a green card.
By closing more and more legal pathways to citizenship, Trump keeps betraying America's promise.

BREAKING: The Trump administration reportedly says ALL green card applicants must now leave the country indefinitely while their cases are processed; even if they are legally in the U.S. or married to American citizens. This would be one of the most aggressive immigration policy shifts in years.

For over 70 years, adjusting your status to a Green Card from within the US has been the standard pathway to achieve permanent legal status.
Now Trump wants to change that solely to inflict damage on our immigrants and mixed families by forcing people to wait often years in their home country.
This is a stupid as it is cruel. And it solely targets legal immigrants.
We won’t let this happen.

🇺🇸 Trump just rolled out new immigration rules:
Most people applying for green cards now have to do it from overseas instead of while already in the U.S.
This is a pretty big immigration clampdown. A lot of skilled workers, tech pros, and families who used to adjust their status here will now have to leave the country and wait abroad.
This is a game changer for immigration processing...
