美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）周五宣布了移民政策的重大调整，规定已提交绿卡或合法永久居民身份申请的非美国公民必须无限期离开美国——即便他们目前合法身处美国，也无论其配偶或子女是否为美国公民。
此后，绿卡申请人将需离开美国，通过美国国务院的领事程序在境外等待申请审批。
美国公民及移民服务局表示，仅在特殊情况下、并基于个案审查，才会批准“身份调整”申请。

特朗普政府的立场始终是：持学生签证、旅游签证或临时工作身份入境美国的非公民，应在签证或身份到期后离开美国，临时入境许可不应成为申请绿卡的第一步。
官员们称，这项政策符合法律的初衷，但预计将会引发诉讼。
“我们正回归法律的初衷，确保外籍人士正确遵循我国的移民体系，”美国公民及移民服务局发言人扎克·卡勒在一份声明中写道。“从今往后，临时身处美国且希望申请绿卡的外籍人士必须返回本国申请，特殊情况除外。这项政策将让我们的移民体系回归法律本意，而非鼓励钻制度空子。”

卡勒补充道，当非公民在本国申请绿卡时，将减少寻找和驱逐那些“决定躲入暗处”、在居留申请被拒后非法滞留美国的人员的需求。
“非移民群体，比如学生、临时劳工或旅游签证持有者，来美国是为了短期停留和特定目的，”他说。“我们的体系设计初衷就是让他们在访问结束后离开。他们的到访不应成为绿卡申请的第一步。”

“遵守法律能让大多数此类案件由国务院在海外的美国领事馆处理，同时腾出有限的美国公民及移民服务局资源，专注处理其职权范围内的其他案件，包括暴力犯罪和人口贩运受害者的签证申请、入籍申请及其他优先事项，”卡勒补充道。“法律的制定自有其道理，尽管多年来该法律一直被忽视，但遵守它将让我们的体系更公平、更高效。”
这项政策调整的批评者指出，许多逾期滞留者拥有美国公民配偶或子女，他们依法纳税、填补劳动力缺口，如果被驱逐出境，将面临漫长的审批延误和人道主义问题。

埃隆·马斯克的母亲梅耶·马斯克在X平台上对这项政策变化作出回应。
“当年我申请绿卡时，必须完成多次疫苗接种、健康检查和肺部X光检查，”梅耶·马斯克在帖子中写道。“因为我是加拿大人，我得飞往蒙特利尔重做肺部X光检查，以确认是同一人。然而，当X光片需要送到我朋友家时，送货卡车因为厚冰被困在桥上。我不得不多待一天。一切都不容易。又过了五年我才拿到公民身份。不过这一切都值得。”

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Friday a major shift in immigration policy, dictating that noncitizens in the U.S. who have applied for a green card, or lawful permanent resident status, must leave the country indefinitely — even if they are in the country legally and regardless of whether they have spouses or children with citizenship.
Green card petitioners will then be required to wait for their application to be processed outside the country through consular processing via the U.S. Department of State.
USCIS said it will grant “adjustment of status” only in extraordinary circumstances, on a case-by-case basis.

The Trump administration’s position remains that when noncitizens travel into the country via student visas, tourist visas or temporary work status, they are supposed to leave once that term expires and that temporary permission to be in the U.S. should not serve as the first step toward getting a green card.
Officials claim the policy reflects the original intentions of the law, though lawsuits and litigation are expected to follow.
“We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly,” USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler wrote in a statement. “From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a green card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.”

Kahler added that when noncitizens apply for a green card from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who “decide to slip into the shadows” and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency.
“Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose,” he said. “Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the green card process.

“Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the State Department at U.S. consular offices abroad and frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under its purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications and other priorities,” Kahler added. “The law was written this way for a reason, and despite the fact that it has been ignored for years, following it will help make our system fairer and more efficient.”
Critics of the policy shift argue many overstays have U.S. citizen spouses or children, pay taxes and fill labor shortages and, if removed from the country, will face long processing delays and humanitarian concerns.

Maye Musk, Elon Musk’s mother, took to X to react to the policy change.
“When I wanted to get my green card, I had to have numerous vaccinations, health tests and a lung x-ray,” Maye Musk wrote in a post. “Because I was Canadian, I had to fly to Montreal to have a lung x-ray again to confirm that it’s the same person. However, when the x-ray had to be delivered to me at my friend’s home, the delivery truck was stuck on a bridge because of thick ice. I had to stay an extra day. Nothing was easy. It took another five years before I could get citizenship. Worth it.”
