@amanonhisown @JBlunt1018 JFC, a week ago you didn’t even know what adjustment of status was and after one Fox News segment now you think you’re an immigration lawyer. Learn what dual intent is and get back to me.

Apparently America’s biggest problem isn’t inflation, housing, healthcare, or corruption.
It’s Rajesh on an H-1B writing code for 14 hours a day while waiting 27 years for a green card.
Glad we finally found the real enemy.

@angell_phoenix @ABC No one is overstaying their visa. AOS can’t be approved if they’re here unlawfully. Part of AOS is showing you’re maintaining status. Also, Congress created H-1b and L visas specifically to allow the intent to immigrate. This policy has no benefit to the US.
English
@ABC People don’t understand what a temporary visa is. That is for tourism, education, business, etc. not immigration and has a time limit for how long they can stay.
Tired of the knee jerk reactions just because Trumps name is in a headline.
English
The Trump administration issued a sweeping policy directive requiring most temporary visa holders and humanitarian parolees living in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for and complete their green card applications. abcnews.link/zXurgOC

"I'm the boss of this company, and what someone else did is bad I could fire them and change the rules but it's more profitable to virtue signal on social media."
We are doomed.
Senator Scott Wiener@Scott_Wiener
The scale of this horrific change is massive. A huge number of visa holders are impacted, including u visa crime victims, people who marry citizens, folks who will be killed or imprisoned if they return to their countries to apply, startup founders & scientists who came here to build & discover, and many more. Moreover, if people are forced to return to their country of origin to apply for a green card, they may be stuck there for years, given backlogs created by DOGE. These are folks with families, jobs, businesses, communities. It’s beyond inhumane & self-destructive for our country. This is yet another example of this regime not giving a damn about human beings or about our country’s future.

I really need someone to explain the massive influx of whiny, helpless tweets from legislators who actually have the fucking power to change this.
Fire them all. If Congress wants to be irrelevant, it should not exist.
Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez@repdeliaramirez
Edlow and the administration continue to weaponize USCIS to push their white nationalist agenda. USCIS's new policy is beyond cruel – it would separate countless families, spouses, and mothers from their children. DHS was built to be a weapon, and it can’t be reformed. We must dismantle DHS piece by piece and create something new that upholds our rights and dignity.

@nicksortor Looks like we just found out who the “businessman/politician” is named in today’s Epstein hearing.

🚨 NOW: President Trump is now BACK in Washington, DC after CANCELLING his weekend plans in New Jersey
CBS is reporting intelligence officials have ALSO canceled Memorial Day plans, and are on standby.
Something may be imminent 👀

@composter108 @SpecialReport @BretBaier By “before” he means before WWII. Since 1954 the US has allowed people here legally on other visas to adjust status in the US. Melania Trump did. Elon Musk did.

🚨BREAKING TONIGHT: A massive change in U.S. immigration policy.
The Trump administration has announced that any noncitizens in the country who have applied for a green card must leave the United States indefinitely.
English
@EricLDaugh They aren’t confirming if H1B is classified as dual intent visa. Dual intent visas are exempt from this rule. I’m guessing H1B is dual intent, I hope I’m wrong.
English
🚨 JUST IN: The Trump administration has just ORDERED all noncitizens to leave the United States if they're applying for a green card — a BIG shift in policy
This means they can't just skip the process and wait for their application while already here
GOOD! Get them all out! 🔥
BAIER: "An enormous change in U.S. immigration policy tonight. The Trump administration says any non-citizens in the country who have applied for a green card must leave the country indefinitely even if here legally and regardless of whether they have a spouse or children."
"Then they have to wait for their green card application to be processed outside of the country."
English
@marcellstrbich @EricLDaugh Yes this applies to R visa holders if they’ve applied for green cards. It doesn’t apply to dual intent visas. Don’t panic, this may just be a mountain out of a molehill.
English
@EricLDaugh Does this apply to the category of non-citizens who are in the United States legally and applying for grain cards like religious clergy?
English
@poiThePoi @gsiskind H is by statute but O isn’t. It’s always been a nuance. We’ll see how they handle it.
English
It's not a loophole when the majority of immigrant applicants get their green card that way. In fact, that's been the case for 65+ years.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@ReichlinMelnick
This claim is a LIE. Congress created adjustment of status in 1960. It's not a loophole. In fact, @USCIS's OWN WEBSITE says that getting a green card from inside the United States was expressly intended by Congress! Just wait; give it 24 hours and they'll erase that history.
English
@USTechWorkers J is a non-dual intent visa too. They can only transfer to H after getting a waiver and there are only 30 per state annually. Most of those waivers focus on primary care. Look, it will impact medical training and patient care. Hard to know how much but it will.
English
@Tomales18 A. F-1 is a non-dual-intent visa, and it’s good that this loophole of self-petitioning for a NIW while on OPT is being closed.
B. Most FMGs arrive on J-1 visas and then transition to an H-1B. It’s a very unusual and uncommon route to use OPT to enter residency.
English
There are a lot of bad takes circulating about what this USCIS memo actually means. It’s not targeting scientists or doctors pursuing employment-based green cards through the normal legal process.
It’s mostly aimed at aliens who enter on tourist visas, conceal immigration intent, abuse loopholes, or use deceitful tactics to game the system while seeking adjustment of status.
Ted Lieu@tedlieu
Dear @WhiteHouse: Your new stupid Green Card policy will help competitors such as China and Russia. The U.S. will have a significant exodus of top researchers, scientists, and industry leaders in multiple fields, ranging from medicine to technology to advanced manufacturing.
English
@poiThePoi @gsiskind Pretty much all my J postdocs apply for an NIW. By the way, are we sure O is dual intent for this purposes?
English
@RedPilled1788 @gsiskind The ability to adjust status is literally the law.
English
@gsiskind Temporary visas were NEVER a permanent backdoor to colonize America. Rules are rules. Send them home. Game over.
English
@Sipnihan @camiloreports As I read the memo, it wouldn’t apply to any country without a US consular post. Now we just have to get past the suspension of processing.
English
@camiloreports Iranian PhD scholar here, 5 years living in US, pay tax, already hired and working as an assistant researcher in US university ,have approval for my green card on EB-2 NIW( national interest waiver) but USCIS pause last step because of my birthplace in December 2025.
English
In a new statement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Zach Kahler suggests that green card applicants in the U.S. who will provide an "economic benefit" or serve the "national interest" will be allowed to complete their processing here, without having to leave.
Camilo Montoya-Galvez@camiloreports
Major policy change: The Trump administration is making it much harder for immigrants already in the U.S. to get permanent residency, or a green card, without having to leave the country. More on @CBSNews: cbsnews.com/news/trump-gre…

@Emannytheory @USCIS @StateDept Not a K expert but I’m pretty sure you need to get married and file the I-130 before your six months of status expire. You can’t file the I-130 before you get married.
English
@Tomales18 @USCIS @StateDept That assumes the K1 doesn't expire at marriage which isn't how it works.
English
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
@sun_raji @USCIS @StateDept Some of our residents apply for a green card while their OPT and have their green cards done by the time they finish residency, so yes this will be hard on clinics.
English
@Emannytheory @USCIS @StateDept K is a dual intent visa so it should be exempt as the memo was written. But this is the Trump administration so who the fuck knows?
English
@USCIS @StateDept How does this affect the k1 is the idea that a k1 is now come here get married here, leave the country and then change to gc in the home country
