Under the Trump administration, green card holders have found themselves under increased scrutiny. Many were surprised to learn that their status did not guarantee seamless entry into the U.S. anymore. The administration’s focus on ensuring that green card holders are genuinely residing in the U.S. has led to stricter enforcement of residency requirements.
Mona and Rebecca discuss the perception of “abandonment,” as the administration targets those using their green card as a multi-entry visas rather than establishing the U.S. as their primary residence.
In this episode, Mona and Rebecca discuss what documents to bring (and what form they should be in!), what one might be asked, and what exactly the current administration is looking for. They also delve into the advantages of the Re-Entry Permit. Whether you’re entering for the first time or returning after a long stay abroad, Mona and Rebecca have answers!
“And I think honestly, Rebecca, that is the crux. I think what this administration is trying to do is, again, make sure people don’t use their green card as a multi-entry visa and that they are actually living in the US and spending in the US and paying taxes.” – Mona
