This is good news.
There is fraud every where in the immigration space. Each part of it. I am sure some folks have gamed the green card process to get themselves ahead in the queue.

USCIS reviewing and deporting those who committed fraud is welcome news. How far will they go? Your guess is as good as mine. I hope they actually throw out and ban them for life.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is moving toward a policy shift that would allow authorities to revisit and vet previously approved green cards. This step could reshape the stability of permanent residency for thousands of immigrants.

U.S. immigration authorities are exploring a plan to reexamine older green card approvals, even for individuals who have already secured permanent residency. The proposal focuses on reassessing whether past applications met eligibility standards at the time of the grant. Unlike routine audits, this effort signals a broader institutional push to reopen finalized cases, potentially years after approval.
Officials cite the need to strengthen oversight and address concerns about fraud, misrepresentation, or gaps in earlier verification processes. Improvements in digital records and cross-agency data sharing now allow authorities to reanalyze historical cases with greater precision. The move also reflects a wider tightening of immigration controls, as policymakers respond to security concerns and political pressure to ensure stricter compliance across all visa categories.

Indian Americans, who constitute a significant share of employment-based green card holders, may be particularly affected. Many have navigated lengthy visa backlogs and complex application processes spanning several years. Immigration lawyers say these applicants often rely on historical employment records and sponsorship details that are subjected to renewed examination. They caution that even technical inconsistencies from earlier filings could resurface, placing added pressure on a group already dealing with one of the longest wait times in the system.

Let us focus on green cards for Non-Producers/Non-Workers: Especially

Asylum status :Available for individuals seeking protection from persecution, which can lead to a green card one year after approval.
-- almost all people from third world countries would be eligible (except white South Africans)

Registry Provision : Available for individuals who have resided continuously in the U.S. since before January 1, 1972.
--- Go back to the end of the line or be deported.

Diversity Visa Lottery: Provides green cards for individuals from countries with low immigration rates to the U.S.
--- Just plain NO.

I think they should start investigating and near term to far. For example collect information of GCs granted in the last 3 years and throw out those who committed fraud. Then expand to the next set of 3 years.

OK good. Now I want to see results. Not just talk. I want to know how many GCs given out, how many are found to be fraud and how many are booted out of the country and blacklisted forever.

If there is fraud, its FAR more likely the fraud is within USCIS than with the applicants. Was USCIS ignoring their own requirements and process?

You are right. There is fraud everywhere.
That explains why nothing was done for decades.

IF? There's fraud everywhere. The system was probably designed to facilitate and cover up the fraud.
