The Trump administration is considering requiring some people applying for US green cards at American consulates abroad to post a bond of up to $100,000, as part of its broader push to ensure immigrants can financially support themselves, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, citing people familiar with the discussions.
According to the report, the US State Department is developing the proposal and is exploring its existing legal authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to require certain immigrant visa applicants to post a financial bond. The idea is still under discussion and no final decision has been made.
