Immigrant families face anxiety, potential separation, and financial uncertainty. Households with pending green card applications experience disrupted life planning. Dual-income professional couples may relocate abroad, reducing consumer spending and tax contributions in the U.S.
Potential regulatory clarification needed on green card adjustment procedures. Risk of legislative pushback from business groups dependent on skilled immigration.
