The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a review of green cards issued during the Biden administration as part of a fraud investigation. This decision, articulated by USCIS director Joseph B. Edlow, aims to tighten scrutiny on permanent residency applicants, although immigration experts indicate that Indian nationals are not perceived as high-risk. In FY2023, India was the third-largest source of green cards, with approximately 78,100 approvals out of nearly 1.2 million total green cards issued. However, the increased focus on fraud could lead to longer scrutiny during international travel and more challenging naturalization interviews for applicants with inconsistencies in their filings. Denial rates for high-skilled categories like EB-1A and EB-2 NIW have notably risen, with approval rates dropping from 70% to an estimated 60%. This review may create anxiety among legal immigrants regarding their status in the country.
