Trump plan could limit green cards for immigrants from travel ban countries

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is planning a policy change that could make it harder for immigrants to get green cards and other approvals if they are from countries subject to the president’s travel ban, according to internal documents from the Department of Homeland Security.

As part of the expected change, US Citizenship and Immigration Services would consider what it called “country-specific factors” included in

President Donald Trump’s travel ban

as “significant negative factors” when reviewing applications for many immigration requests, with certain exceptions, according to draft documents reviewed by The New York Times. The policy is still being finalised.
