The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a clarification on the Trump administration's new Green Card policy, which raised fears across the technology industry and among H-1B visa holders. The original policy announcement suggested that most people applying for Green Cards would need to complete the process outside the US, rather than adjusting their status while living in the country. This move sparked concerns, with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman criticizing the policy on social media, calling it a "harmful move for tech, business, and America broadly."
