The United States government has revealed its intention to rescind the Green Cards of those with criminal records.
The alert indicated that these individuals are at risk of losing their residency rights and may confront deportation.
This decision comes in the wake of recent modifications to visa regulations for Nigerians by the US embassy.
The recent ruling emphasizes individuals involved in crimes of dishonesty, deception, or unacceptable conduct.
Moreover, green card holders could forfeit their status if they remain outside the US for more than a year without appropriate documentation or a clear intention to sustain their residency, which may be regarded as an abandonment of their permanent resident privileges.
