Green Card Holders Face New Rules and Tax Under New Policies
The U.S. government is making some changes that affect people with green cards, which allow them to live and work in the U.S. These people need to follow all the rules or they could lose their green cards.
Starting in 2025, there will be new rules for renewing or getting a new green card.
Also, the rules about how long your medical check-up forms are good for have changed.
In addition, a new tax will be charged on money sent out of the U.S. using cash or money orders, starting in 2026.
This affects many people who send money to their families outside the country.
New U.S. policies under the Trump administration are creating challenges for green card holders.
Green card holders must comply with legal requirements or face potential revocation of their status.
Starting May 29, 2025, new rules for renewing or replacing green cards will be implemented.
Validity of immigration medical examination forms (I-693) has been updated.
A new 1% remittance tax will be enacted on January 1, 2026, affecting money transfers.
