Why It Matters
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a policy change requiring foreign nationals seeking to adjust their immigration status for a green card to apply from their home countries, rather than within the U.S. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to strengthen immigration measures.

美國國籍暨移民局（USCIS）今天表示，尋求在美國調整移民身分以取得綠卡的外國人必須返回原籍國，改由境外透過國務院申請。這項舉措受到援助團體批評。
路透社報導，隸屬美國國土安全部的USCIS在政策備忘錄中宣布這項舉措，並指示官員在判定是否適用特殊救濟時，應逐案考量相關因素與資訊。
國土安全部表示：「暫時在美國的外國人如欲取得綠卡，必須返回原籍國申請。」
國土安全部說：「這項政策讓我們的移民系統依照法律原意運作，而不是鼓勵鑽漏洞。」
USCIS表示，新政策將有助釋放機構資源，讓人員能專注處理其他案件。
為難民及其他移民群體提供服務的援助團體「希伯來移民援助協會」（HIAS）表示，USCIS這項做法迫使人口販運倖存者以及遭受虐待和忽視的兒童回到他們逃離的危險國家，才能辦理申請綠卡、獲得美國永久居留權。
這項政策變動是美國總統川普政府過去一年來強化移民措施的最新一步。
