Many individuals applying for employment-based
green cards have their interview waived, especially if they have extraordinary
abilities and if the employer petitioning on their behalf is the same one that
sponsored their initial work visa.
The new policy, which will go into effect on
October 1, people applying for green cards based on their employment or for
refugee and asylee relatives will be subject to an interview.
The new requirement will apply to anyone moving from an
employment-based visa to lawful permanent residency. Visa holders who are
family members of refugees or people who receive asylum will also be required
to undergo an in-person interview when they apply for provisional status, a
stage that precedes receiving a green card, according to USCIS.
The interview mandate is part of President Donald Trump’s plan to
apply “extreme vetting” to immigrants and visitors to the U.S.
The travel ban executive order signed by the president in January and
revised in March called for federal departments to develop “uniform screening
and vetting standards” to identify terrorists or people who “present a risk of
causing harm.” The standards could include an in-person interview, the order
stated.
