I am on a 2 year GC due to my wife being American. It’ll expire in June 2021 and I have to apply for the 10 year one. I unfortunately don’t expect the economy/unemployment numbers to be much better at the end of this year with how bad COVID is handled. Let’s say Trump continues to be president and feels like he should extend strict immigration policies on visas and GCs, could my new GC be in jeopardy?

I dont think Trump will be successful in dismantling family based immigration especially kicking spouses of American citizens out of the country.

Yeah his own wife is an immigrant so...

Given the changing legal requirements, you should definitely retain an immigration attorney (if you haven't already) and make sure you guys have a plan in place.

Potentially though the risk is low. Are you from one of the countries he decided were bogeyman countries? Your risk will be higher jf so.

In all likelihood you will be fine, but I would still plan for citizenship to be sure. I've been here 18 years and became a citizen last year becuase it's so uncertain. Believe there's a 5 year green card requirement.

Yeah makes sense. I’m from Germany... I have 2 more years for citizenship I believe

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.
