Title: Adjustment of Status for Certain Nationals of Haiti 
Abstract: This interim rule implements section 902 of the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act of 1998 (HRIFA) by establishing procedures for certain nationals of Haiti who have been residing in the United States to become lawful permanent residents of this country. This rule allows them to obtain lawful permanent residence status without applying for an immigrant visa at a United States consulate abroad and waives many of the usual requirements for this benefit.
