The Story in Brief
The United States will soon require all immigration applications, including for green cards, citizenship, and asylum, to be filed online. The move aims to boost efficiency and cut operational costs, NDTV reports.
The policy shift will affect millions of applicants worldwide. It is part of broader administrative reforms in the US immigration system. No specific timeline for implementation has been announced yet.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative of frictionless digital efficiency misses real-world hurdles. Many Indian applicants in rural areas or with poor internet will struggle with mandatory online filing. Watch for whether the US offers offline alternatives or waives fees for those without digital access. The real test is how many cases get rejected due to technical glitches, not paperwork errors.
