Immigration Policies for US Green Card, H-1B & F-1Visa holders

The USCIS along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has updated the immigration policies for Green Card, H-1B and F-1 visa holders. The department has increased scrutiny on the residence requirements of these visa holders who need to travel in and out of the US frequently.
 

Immigration experts have suggested that Green Card and H-1B, F-1 visa holders maintaining strong ties to the US and refraining from criminal activities have no reason to panic.  However, immigrants having a US Green Card, F-1, or H-1B must refrain from staying away from the US for longer periods of time.
