US Eyes $100,000 Bond Requirement for Green Card Applicants
Times of India·Friday, 17 July 2026

The Trump administration says it is exploring this authority under the existing Immigration and Nationality Act. Officials claim a pilot version of this policy previously reduced visa overstays.

India sends more Green Card applicants to the US than almost any other country, so this rule could create a major financial barrier for thousands of Indian families and professionals.
