The United States is launching a pilot program in the Dominican Republic that will require certain applicants for permanent residency to pay a bond. This measure targets individuals who are deemed at risk of becoming a public charge, marking the first time such a requirement has been implemented as part of a U.S. immigration initiative.
The program serves as a test case for assessing the financial viability of residency applicants. By requiring these bonds, U.S. authorities aim to mitigate the potential economic impact of new residents on the country's public resources.
