Trump’s 2025 immigration update: Stricter Green Card rules for married couples announced

Ever since he took office in January 2025, US President Donald Trump has been making changes in quite literally every sector of the government. From moving to reject transgender identity to imposing reciprocal tariffs on countries the US trades with, many changes have been made in the past month. Now, the Trump administration has touched base with a new matter. It has introduced some changes to the green card application process for married couples in terms of updated forms, marriage interviews and increased financial disclosures.

Trump has been cracking down heavily on illegal immigrants, pledging to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history. His administration has already deported almost 100,000 illegal immigrants. Now, as per the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), a green card holder has the right to live permanently in the US, provided that they do not commit any actions that "would make you removable under immigration law." This includes breaking laws and not filing taxes.
