Trump Ending Automatic Green Cards for Migrants Marrying U.S. Citizens

[Dashinka 26,375]

The headline is a bit misleading as to my knowledge there is no automatic GCs for anyone.  However, it does seem that there is a lot more scrutiny of AOSs particularly wrt to adjustments from a B2/VWP/student visa etc.  I suspect there might be more scrutiny of the ROC process as well.

 

Trump Ending Automatic Green Cards for Migrants Marrying U.S. Citizens

Immigration lawyers are warning that federal agencies are increasingly skeptical when migrants claim to have legitimate marriages with Americans.

 

The policy shift comes after President Donald Trump’s deputies began cracking down on rising rates of marriage-related visa fraud by migrants who pay Americans for temporary marriages.

 

While marrying a U.S. citizen has never been a locked-in guarantee that a migrant would be issued a green card, marriages have previously offered a huge boost to a migrant’s request for legal status. But that may be changing as immigration attorneys are finding that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are giving such marriages much closer scrutiny than ever before.

This might in part be consequent to the Somali situation in Mogadishu-sota, including Ilhan Omar.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — According to sources, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar gently broke the news to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, that it was time for them to start seeing other siblings.

Elmi, who married Omar in 2009 to enter the United States before later divorcing to pursue a "familial" relationship, was reportedly dumbfounded to learn he couldn't keep planning family get-togethers with his wife-sister.

"I love you, I do," Omar told her brother. "But there's a lot of heat on me because of this day care fraud, and I think it's best that we take a break. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. And by 'fish in the sea,' I mean family members."

It needs more scrutiny.  I have seen some flat fraud in my days.

All this is quite strange to me as Trump married 2 immigrants , himself

 

Ivana from Czecholovkia

and Melania born in Yugoslavia (now Slovenia)

 

Melania then bought family here with "chain migration"   which Trump is against

and she holds dual citizenship with Slovenia 

 

also son Barron holds dual citzenship according to a biography of her by May Jordan
