The website reports that the Trump administration announced a policy requiring foreigners in the U.S. to apply for green cards from their home countries, a change from longstanding practices. This policy could affect hundreds of thousands of applicants annually and has caused confusion and concern.
The claims regarding U.S. immigration policies and practices during the Trump administration and beyond are largely supported by the evidence. The Trump administration's policy requiring green card applicants to apply from their home countries is confirmed by multiple sources, though details on its implementation are sparse. Historical claims about the green card process and the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan are well-documented and supported by authoritative sources. Statistical claims about green card applications and visa wait times are supported by credible sources, though some lack multiple corroborating references. Overall, the evidence supports the factual accuracy of these claims, with varying degrees of confidence based on the availability and quality of sources.
