Title: Improving the Regulations Governing the Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence and Related Immigration Benefits | |
Abstract:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations governing adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence in the United States. The proposed changes include permitting concurrent filing of a visa petition and the application for adjustment of status for the employment-based 4th preference (certain special immigrants) category, including religious workers; permitting the transfer of underlying basis of a pending adjustment of status application; amending the definition relating to ineligibilities under section 245(c) of the INA; changing the age calculation under the Child Status Protection Act; and authorizing employment authorization for certain derivative beneficiaries waiting for immigrant visa availability when they present compelling circumstances. DHS also proposes to amend the regulations relating to temporary protected status and travel authorization and the impact on the adjustment of status eligibility. The intent of these proposed changes is to reduce processing times, improve the quality of inventory data provided to partner agencies, reduce the potential for visa retrogression, and promote the efficient use of immediately available immigrant visas. |
