Border screening is expanding. Under a rule effective December 26, U.S. Customs and Border Protection can now collect facial recognition data from all noncitizens entering and exiting the U.S., including green card holders at airports, land crossings, and seaports.
Foreign travelers may soon face deeper vetting before arrival. CBP plans to require five years of social media history for applicants using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, citing national security requirements tied to a 2025 executive order.
Meanwhile, marriage is no longer a guarantee for a green card. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that while spouses are considered immediate relatives, more scrutiny will be placed on these unions.
Emphasis will be placed on cohabitation, not just marriage, to prove validity.
