Trump Administration pauses processing of green card applications, likely to effect Punjabis
Washington, March 27, 2025: Trump Administration has paused processing of green card applications filed by refugees and certain other individuals. This decision is likely to effect Indians as well including Punjabis apart from other community members.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has directed its officials to suspend processing of requests for legal permanent residency submitted by immigrants who have been granted refugee or asylum.
Decision of the administration will likely effect a large number of refugees and asylum seekers.
Refugees are granted entry into the U.S. after an overseas and exhaustive process of security checks, medical screenings and interviews which usually takes several years to complete.
