美国新规要求大部分绿卡申请者须从境外申请
特朗普政府周四宣布了一项重大的移民政策变更，要求大多数绿卡申请人必须从美国境外通过领事处理程序提交申请。
这一新规从根本上改变了现有的移民申请流程。此前，许多已经在美国境内的申请人可以通过"身份调整"（Adjustment of Status）程序在美国境内直接申请绿卡，无需离境。
据《华盛顿邮报》报道，该政策将影响数十万正在美国境内等待绿卡申请的申请人。他们将被要求离开美国，回到原籍国或第三国的美国使领馆完成申请程序。
批评者指出，这一政策将导致申请人面临漫长的等待时间、额外的旅行成本，以及在某些情况下可能因原籍国安全状况而无法返回的风险。
支持者则认为，此举有助于加强边境管控，确保移民申请程序的完整性和安全性。
New Rule Requires Most Green Card Applicants to Apply from Outside US
The Trump administration announced a major immigration policy change on Thursday, requiring most green card applicants to submit their applications through consular processing from outside the United States.
The new rule fundamentally changes the existing application process. Previously, many applicants already in the US could apply for green cards through the “Adjustment of Status” process without leaving the country.
According to The Washington Post, the policy will affect hundreds of thousands of applicants currently waiting for green card processing within the United States. They will be required to leave the US and complete their applications at US embassies or consulates in their home countries or third nations.
Critics argue that the policy will subject applicants to lengthy waiting times, additional travel costs, and in some cases, the risk of being unable to return due to security conditions in their home countries.
Supporters maintain that the measure will strengthen border control and ensure the integrity and security of the immigration application process.
