The United States has clarified its position on a recent directive that sparked concerns among immigrants seeking permanent residency. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the policy does not require all green card applicants to return to their home countries during the application process. Instead, immigration officers will continue to decide such cases individually, as permitted under existing rules. The clarification comes after an earlier statement suggested applicants would generally need to leave the US to apply. The move had raised concerns among F-1 students, tourists and H-1B visa holders, including many Indian professionals seeking permanent residency. (PC: HT)
