Lately, the US-India relationship has not been at its best. A new restriction for green card holders has been introduced, after the ongoing tariff issue and the 'claiming credit' charade for India's Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. The issues facing indians have been getting worse ever since donald trump took office. The new rule is the source of the issue.
The US Justice Department's latest antics were made public.
Thousands of indian green card holders may be impacted by a recent court case that has surfaced in the US. In a federal court, the US Department of Justice stated that the Attorney General can revoke a person's green card at any moment. even though the green card was granted many years or even decades ago. Lawful permanent resident, or LPR, status is another name for the green card.
Green Card Is No Longer A Guarantee
This legal matter has been brought to light in the New jersey case of Imam Muhammad Qatani. In 2006, Qatani was not granted a green card. He was charged with having ties to a prohibited group. These claims, however, could not be validated. Following this case, many immigrant communities, particularly the indian community, are in a state of terror. The green card is perceived as no longer secure.
The Green Card regulations don't have a time limit.
The Attorney General can revoke a green card at any moment, according to DOJ attorney Lindsay Murphy. It makes no difference how much time has passed since the green card was issued if the administrative process was not finished. Murphy responded that there is no time restriction in the rule when asked if a green card can be revoked even after ten or twenty years. This implies that even immigrants who have been in the united states for thirty, forty, or fifty years are unable to receive relief from this.
It is thought that the green card can be revoked at any moment, even after it has been issued, if administrative mistakes are discovered in the paperwork. Legal professionals have voiced their concerns about the DOJ's position. David Isaacson, Katani's attorney, stated that the government ought to have filed an appeal against the initial ruling within 30 days. The original decision ought to stand if the government didn't.
Cancelled only in case of fraudulent activity or criminal record
"Green cards can be revoked for reasons like fraud or criminal activity," said stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law expert at Cornell Law School. However, it is unprecedented for a green card to be revoked indefinitely due to technical problems alone. This can jeopardize the stability of permanent residence.
Deportations used to only occur in situations such as acts of terrorism.
Although they may occasionally be deported, green card holders have many of the same rights as US citizens. These cases typically involve criminal activity or immigration law violations. Additionally, foreign nationals who assist or are connected to terrorist organizations risk having their visas revoked. However, the government must be presented with credible evidence for this.
What are the grounds for a Green Card cancellation?
A green card may be canceled for the following reasons, according immigration attorneys and court records: Giving false information or engaging in fraud during the application process. committing crimes or keeping them hidden.
What does this signify for those who possess green cards?
Even if they have been living lawfully for years, green card holders will be afraid that their status would be withdrawn because of administrative errors. People will be unsure of their immigration status for a long time because there is no time limit for revocation. To make sure they are abiding by all the regulations, green card holders will need to keep reviewing their immigration records and speaking with legal professionals.
