"The State Department's March 2026 Visa Bulletin brings a clearer sense of momentum for some green card applicants after a relatively quiet February.

While many categories remain frozen in place, March introduces several meaningful forward moves—especially for employment‑based visas—and reverses one of February's biggest setbacks.

Employment‑based applicants—especially those in EB‑2, EB‑3, EB‑4 and religious worker categories—see the clearest gains. Family‑sponsored visas remain mostly stalled, though a handful of groups benefit from modest filing and approval advances."

"Even green card holders are not safe from illegal deportations, a recent arrest has proven. On Monday, Palestine-born Mohsen Mahdawi was detained in Vermont despite holding a green card. After living in the U.S. for ten years, Mahdawi, a student at Columbia University, had hopes of passing his interview to become a naturalized citizen.

However, such dreams were dashed as he was arrested while attending the interview at the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester, Vermont. Footage capturing the moment Mahdawi was taken into custody from the interview surfaced on X.

(. . .)

Up until 2024, Mahdawi was one of the leaders of the pro-Palestine student protest movement. In 2023, he was tagged as anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas after a lecturer at the University published a thread about the protest organizers.

Unfortunately, since Trump took office, there has been heavy scrutiny on foreign students participating in the campus pro-Palestine movement. Mahdawi is now facing a deportation order"

"Chung’s family moved to the United States from South Korea when she was seven, and she became a lawful permanent resident in 2021, according to a court filing that is challenging the bid by the Department of Homeland Security officials to detain her.

Her attorneys won a temporary restraining order against the federal government in that case on March 25 that requires the government to get court approval before detaining or transferring Chung out of state.

Chung was arrested in early March for participating in a protest on Barnard College’s campus, which is affiliated with Columbia, that challenged disciplinary measures taken by the university against pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Four days later, DHS agents visited the home of Chung’s parents, and four days after that federal agents executed a search warrant of the campus apartments of Chung and another student.

'The Warrant would only have been properly supported factually if the materials submitted to the issuing Magistrate Judge, including under oath, stated that Ms. Chung was unlawfully present in the United States. But Ms. Chung is a lawful permanent resident… and Secretary Rubio does not have the unilateral authority to revoke her status,' says the April 4 court filing. 'Any possibility that the Court may have been provided incorrect or false information as a basis for the Warrant makes release of the materials critical.'

(. . .)

Two of Chung’s attorneys told THE CITY they were only aware of two cases, hers and Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, where federal officials have sought to detain and deport legal permanent residents — known as green card holders."
