That makes sense to me...!

Immigration should be tightened in every serious nation.

The bolded is not true
There is A LOT to lose

Because perception is everything
Once a country becomes hostile, talent leaves

And NO, American postgraduate and research fields cannot operate at its cutting edge rate without the myriad of esp STEM talent that flooded the country unis.

If they leave, US unis will be done for
Like I said in your other mention, you are clearly ignorant of the subject matter.

Non immigrant visas still exist for exchange, fellowships, research etc. What they're saying is, if you want to change to immigrant, return home to process. All these info are in the public. Part of the conditions of non immigrant visa is return home after your program. Non immigrant Visa policies robustly cater for all these nonexistent excuses you're raising.

There are other visa categories to take care of real talents. Once again, they have relatively nothing to lose. Ever since the visa ban and freeze, what have they lost? What did they lose in his first tenure of immigration tightening?

The angle I expected you to be arguing from would be the revenue loss, sweeping ban/freeze affecting at least 91 countries (which is like asking affected people to return to consular offices that have been halted), or the common cliche that USA is a country of immigrants bla bla. Unfortunately, you're not coming from any.

FYI, I have an active EB petition but let's tell ourselves the truth. So, if anything, I will be a beneficiary of an open door immigration policy from USA.

Canada go do you like you take cana.

You go find job tire you no go see unlike UK especially if you are in a certified profession. Nurses/Doctors/Pharmacists/Engineers can transition into their careers easily in UK but for Canada you have 2 options Factory / Care Work or return to school. The PR pool/backlog don choke, LMIA ticket don cut, Asylum way dem don revise am.

Aside the current immigration pressure, no where beats US for the possibilities an immigrant can achieve, men don establish back home with just cash jobs alone oo because e too plenty.

You fit manoeuvre your way through legal technicalities for US unlike any place else, the Nigerian guy Guobadia was an illegal immigrant but he was a $ millionaire owning chemical plants in US before his ex snitched on him to ICE.

I know about a guy that went on work-study visa and overstayed, today he owns a McDonalds franchise in US, Trump didn’t catch him in 1st Term, during Biden Tenure he sharply married his oyibo pepper.
You forgot the thousands of broke Nigerians living in that same US.

It depends on your situation before applying for adjustment of status.

E.g someone on dual intent visa like H1B won't have any problem other than having to remain in home country till green card is approved.

Only visa fraud and illegal migrant people would be axed
And you dont think this is a big deal?

You never can tell.
According to Trump himself, "there is a trouble-making website from Nigeria" that gives him a lot of headache. Where else is he or his policies most discussed in Nigeria?

They'll just have to put their application on hold until Trump leaves

Yeye man! I thought he would permanently bar Nigerians from entering America

Those useless US embassy and consulate are using Nigerians to cash out
What assures them that another republican won’t win Or that the next president will want to abolish the policy.

Imagine them calling humans aliens all because they want green card.
Go and educate yourself and stop being ignorant "alien" is an immigration word that is used in most countries all over the world for migrants even in Nigeria.

I really need that USA bit due to their harsh immigrant policies i will go to Canada for now, I'm a Pharmacist based in Nigeria and hope to practice Pharmacy in Canada. What jobs do you suggest I should easily settle in with in Canada before practicing as a Pharmacist in Canada?

Lol. Bothers will be reopened and immigration laws will be relaxed again in a few years once this current strict implementations begin to yield negative results as it will at a certain point. The same thing applies to UK.

DesireV:
Bye bye to adjustment of Status.
Researchers, doctors, students, and their derivatives looking to adjust status axed.

No hiding spot again. Either return to home country and join immigrant visa queue, a lot of which are retrogressed or remain out of status in USA.

Pink man again!
You think Trump can afford to purge all immigrants doctors, nurses, pharmacists and students with temporary visas and USA won't be short of those professionals and their Universities won't feel it too? Trump is old, his brain is failing already, he doesn't understand the implications of his own many actions and policies, all he wanted to do is to purge as many immigrants as possible.
Just few days ago, he had to lift ban on doctors and other medical professionals from applying for visas. Why? Because USA cannot afford not to allow them in temporarily or permanently

Re: All Migrants seeking PR or US green cards must apply from home countries - DHS by MT: 11:49pm On May 22
This is a touch of a genius from Trump.

Rush for a US visitor visa will reduce.

You can't go to the US and marry on visitors or student visa. you have to come back to Nigeria to apply.

I hate Trump but this would make a massive impact on people.

You knows nothing about the country 🤣, even most Nigerians you think you're expecting are already citizens, while many are permanent residents. So you think everyone you see came with visiting visa🤔

Why will someone on H1B return to their home country? AOS is in the law and there will continue to be AoS. This is not a new law but a reminder to applicants and USCIS officers.

They reinstated and “reminded” applicants and USCIS officers that discretion has been written into the law, and a lack of discretion has caused fraudulent patterns in some areas, therefore they are now going to exercise their legal right to discretion more in depth than before.

They did not eliminate legal AOS, no new law has been made, no major changes have been enforced in black letter policy. They basically said “We see the patterns, we’re going to make fraudulent patterns harder to achieve… and we are telling you this now, so it doesn’t come as a shock”
