The Trump administration is considering a new financial requirement for some green card applicants, which would see them post a refundable bond of up to $100,000 before moving to the United States. The proposal, still under review at the State Department, would apply to certain immigrant visa applicants at US consulates abroad.
It is the latest in a series of high‑cost immigration fee measures introduced under the current administration, several of which have already been blocked by courts or have attracted limited numbers of paying applicants.
