Iranian-origin US founder Kiana Ehsani reacted to the new Green Card rules and shared a heartbreaking update on her life. Though she is not a Green Card applicant, and already a Green Card holder, Ehsani said the situation for her is no better. "Today I was supposed to be on my way to Turkiye for my wedding," Ehsani said adding that her wedding had to be called off as all flights to and from Iran are canceled and her family can't leave Iran.
Ehsani said they chose Turkiye for the wedding as it's close to Iran. She was supposed to get married with a close group of family members from both sides on a boat on the Mediterranean Sea at sunset.
She said instead of going to Turkiye, she stumbled upon the new Green Card rule that applicants have to go back to their countries to apply. "This means every one of my Iranian friends who are here on a visa now has to go back home (on which flight?) to get a green card??? As if it’s that easy? We all know getting back to the US for Iranians is a huge challenge (months and months of waiting for a visa, with a chance of never being able to come back)," she wrote.
