Abstract:
Section 1103 of the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE), Public Law 106-553, finalizes the interim rule that created a new nonimmigrant classification under Immigration and Nationality Act section 101(a)(15)(K) for the spouses and children of U.S. citizens who have pending immigrant visa applications. This rule establishes this classification in DHS regulations, including creating filing and adjudication procedures, as well as procedures for adjusting status from this new nonimmigrant classification to that of a lawful permanent resident. |
