After Backlash, U.S. Clarifies Green Card Applicants Need Not Leave Country
The U.S. government has clarified that most green card applicants will not be required to leave the country while their applications are being processed. The clarification came after confusion over a recent immigration notice that sparked concern among H-1B workers, employers and immigration lawyers. The Department of Homeland Security said there has been no sweeping policy change and that decisions will continue to be made on a case-by-case basis. While adjustment-of-status applications remain available, experts say uncertainty remains over how immigration officers may exercise discretion in individual cases.
