"Aliens who come to the United States temporarily and later seek permanent residency should pursue an immigrant visa through the proper channels back in their home countries before being admitted as immigrants.”
“Under @POTUS, @USCIS is returning to the original intent of the law and reinforcing the proper distinction between temporary admission and permanent residence."
This year’s H-1B season is wrapping up, and we’re seeing great results from @POTUS’ new policies that prioritize America First!
Stay tuned for more updates, but here’s what we’re seeing so far:
✅More top talent: We’re approving more applicants with advanced degrees and higher
When I became @USCIS Director, I inherited a staggering backlog of asylum cases: 1.5 million—up from 400k in 2021.
That was the result of 4 years of unchecked crossings at the border because the previous president didn’t care who they let into our homeland.
This @POTUS cares.
When it comes to immigration, we’re upholding standards set by Congress and enforcing requirements that have long been ignored.
The Trump administration is taking decisive steps to eliminate fraud and protect American citizens.

For months, USCIS has enforced indefinite illegal hold of new/visa renewals, work authorizations, green card, citizenship for every legal immigrant from 39 countries, already living in the US. These include families of US citizens. Several judges already deemed this illegal

There is nothing more precious than the gift of American citizenship.
Earning that privilege means:
▪️Assimilation into our culture,
▪️English proficiency, &
▪️A commitment to the principles of our Constitution.
We’re taking major steps to reinforce those essentials.

USCIS has capriciously stalled applications filed by highly-skilled scholars and professionals. PM-602-0192/94 imposed adjudication holds tied to country of birth, blocking eligible applicants from receiving any benefit including work authorization, GC, and naturalization.

The lengths the Biden administration went to in order to ignore the pervasive fraud in our immigration system are staggering.
Today, under the Trump administration, @USCIS is proud to deploy dedicated special agents to specifically investigate, expose, & eliminate this fraud.

For months, USCIS has enforced indefinite hold of new/visa renewals, work authorizations, green card, citizenship, every immigration benefit for every legal immigrant from 39 countries. These are legal immigrants currently in the country with several coming in under Trump.

The Biden administration knew exactly what they were doing when they opened the floodgates, let everyone come in, and reduced our standards of screening and vetting to the point they were meaningless.
Under @POTUS and @SecMullinDHS, we’re correcting that for the American people.

Evidence shows @USCIS policy imposes an indefinite hold on benefits for legal immigrants from certain countries, including those vetted under Trump (2017–2021). Law-abiding PhDs and doctors are barred from work, contradicting “merit-based” claims.

Under @POTUS & @SecMullinDHS, @USCIS is making sure only those who meet all requirements & pose no threat to national security are granted Green Cards & citizenship.
These benefits are an honor & privilege, & we’re making sure they go only to those who truly qualify.
We’re cleaning up after the Biden admin, where criminals got an open door into the US through our legal immigration system.
We’re reviewing past immigration determinations & correcting them as necessary.
The shutdown of @DHSgov undermines that work & puts all Americans at risk.

USCIS is primarily fee-funded and operates independently of DHS appropriations; any operational constraints would therefore imply a reallocation or diversion of applicant-paid fees.

Fraud permeates our entire immigration system.
Our new @USCIS special agents will ensure there are consequences for this type of fraud.
No one is entitled to immigration benefits & naturalization. Immigration to the U.S. is an honor & we will make sure it’s done correctly.
