Process to Promote the Unity and Stability of Families – USCIS
“About 1.1 million immigrants without legal status are married to American citizens in the United States, according to immigration advocacy organization FWD.us. The administration thinks that ultimately about half that number — about 500,000 — could be eligible for this program, plus about 50,000 of their children.” – Here’s what’s in Biden’s plan to offer some migrants a pathway to citizenship, and how it will work, PBS
President Biden’s parole in place plan is good news for 40,000 Minnesota families. Under the plan, many undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens will be able to apply for permanent residence (green cards) without leaving the country. Leaving the country for processing risks imposition of a 10-year bar to return.
“Immigration advocates are trying to get word out about the timeline, said Julia Decker, policy director at Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
“She added that folks who are undocumented will be able to stay together and maintain a sense of stability that is most important for children. Before this week, the process could sometimes keep families separated for as long as 10 years. Along with undocumented spouses, Biden’s plan will also apply to their noncitizen children.
“‘It’s hard to overstate how much the risk of that 10-year separation can be and how heavy that could weigh on families and children of those families,’ Decker said.
“Michele McKenzie of the Advocates for Human Rights said those interested in pursuing this pathway should wait for further official announcements from the president, and should avoid scammers claiming they can submit their application.” – Biden order streamlining path to citizenship for spouses could affect 40,000 Minnesotans, Sahan Journal
