It may get harder to secure US green card if you come from a travel ban-listed country

The Trump administration is considering a policy to make it harder for immigrants from countries on the US travel ban list to obtain permanent residency. Under the proposed change, an applicant's country of origin from nations like Iran, Libya, Sudan, and Yemen would be considered a "negative factor" in their green card or asylum application. This move could affect thoroughly vetted candidates already residing in the US and is seen as a significant shift in immigration policy. Critics, such as the National Iranian American Council, have urged the Department of Homeland Security to reconsider, labeling the plan discriminatory.
