华盛顿5月22日（路透社）——美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）周五表示，试图在美国调整移民身份以获取绿卡的外籍人士必须通过国务院在境外提交申请，此举遭到援助组织的批评。
美国公民及移民服务局在一份政策备忘录中宣布了这项新规，要求官员在裁定是否应给予特殊救济时，需逐案考量相关因素和信息。

负责监管美国公民及移民服务局的美国国土安全部表示：“身处美国境内的外籍人士若想申请绿卡，必须返回本国提交申请。”
“这项政策让我们的移民系统回归法律初衷，而非纵容钻空子行为。”
美国公民及移民服务局表示，新政策将解放机构资源，专注处理其他案件。
为难民及其他移民群体提供服务的援助组织HIAS指出，美国公民及移民服务局正迫使人口贩运幸存者、受虐待和被忽视的儿童返回他们逃离的危险国家，才能提交绿卡申请——绿卡将为他们提供美国永久居留权。
周五的政策调整是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普过去一年来为收紧美国移民政策采取的一系列举措中的最新一项。
去年，特朗普政府出台新规缩短学生、文化交流访客和媒体从业人员的签证有效期。
今年1月，国务院宣布自特朗普去年就职以来，已吊销超过10万份签证。

WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) – Foreigners seeking to adjust their immigration status in the United States to secure green cards will have to do so from outside the country via the State Department, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said on Friday, in a move criticized by aid groups.
USCIS announced the move in a policy memo, which directed officers to consider relevant factors and information on a case-by-case basis when determining whether extraordinary relief is warranted.

“An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply,” said the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which has oversight of USCIS.
“This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.”
The USCIS said the new policy will free up agency resources to focus on processing other cases.
HIAS, an aid group that provides services to refugees, among other groups of immigrants, said USCIS was forcing survivors of trafficking and abused and neglected children to return to the dangerous countries they fled in order to process their applications for green cards granting them permanent residency in the U.S.
Friday’s policy change is the latest in a series of steps taken by U.S. President Donald Trump over the last year to tighten migration to the United States.
Last year, the Trump administration moved to shorten the duration of visas for students, cultural exchange visitors and members of the media.
In January, the State Department announced that it had revoked more than 100,000 visas since Trump took office the year before.
