Why the US has suspended consideration of Green Card applications

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has been instructed to suspend processing of applications for legal permanent residence for persons with refugee or asylum status. This pause is explained by the need to conduct additional checks for possible fraud and threats to public and national security.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed that this step is part of Trump's executive order to increase vetting of all foreigners intending to stay in the country. In one of the documents cited by officials, the president called on federal agencies to conduct maximum checks on anyone who wants to obtain the right to reside in the United States.

New social media checks for immigrants

In addition to suspending the processing of applications, the Trump administration also plans to introduce more thorough checks on immigrants' social media accounts. This innovation applies not only to Green Card applicants, but also to those seeking US citizenship or asylum.

The USCIS claims that this approach is necessary to strengthen national security screening and identify potential threats. However, many human rights advocates have expressed concern about possible violations of immigrants' rights and delays in the status process.

What it means for Ukrainians

Ukrainians who have refugee status in the United States or are planning to apply for a Green Card may face additional difficulties. Delays in processing applications can lead to long waits for a decision, and enhanced checks can complicate the process of obtaining permanent residence.

Experts advise to closely monitor updates in immigration legislation and, if possible, consult with lawyers specializing in immigration issues. It is especially important to prepare all necessary documents that can confirm the applicant's integrity and compliance with the requirements of US immigration law.

The Trump administration continues to implement a tough immigration policy that affects many foreigners, including Ukrainians, seeking permanent residence in the United States. Given these changes, it is worthwhile to carefully consider the process of applying for a Green Card and take into account possible risks and delays.
