Trump To Reexamine 19 Countries Green Cards!
And now the latest developments are suggesting that the term administration has started to re-examine the old green cards that were issued earlier as well.
By: Tupaki Desk | 28 Nov 2025 10:50 AM ISTUnited States, president, Donald Trump has been largely unpredictable with regard to his choices when it comes to immigration policies, and this is back on display now. He has taken a pretty steep decision with regard to the new visa issue policy.
And now the latest developments are suggesting that the term administration has started to re-examine the old green cards that were issued earlier as well.
The United States government has announced a major policy move that will reexamine all green cards issued to people from 19 countries that the White House has identified as countries of concern.
This review is aimed at strengthening national security checks and ensuring that all permanent resident approvals were granted after proper background verification. Officials said this step is part of a larger effort to update immigration vetting procedures and address any gaps that may have existed in older screening systems.
The countries included in this new review are Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Green card holders from these nations may be contacted for additional information, document verification or updated security checks.
The government has not announced any changes to travel or visa rules, but the review signals a more cautious approach to immigration from regions considered to have higher security risks.
While the White House states that this is not targeted at any specific community, immigrant groups and rights organizations are closely watching the situation. They are urging authorities to conduct the review fairly without causing unnecessary fear among legal residents.
