Recently released documents from the Biden administration details the extensive changes to our immigration system. Many classes of non-citizens will be eligible for relief upon the proposed bill's passage. If you are a part of the following groups, make sure to follow our page and call the office to schedule a consultation:
DACA recipients, TPS recipients and certain seasonal farmworkers will be eligible for green cards immediately.
Undocumented non-citizens will be eligible for Temporary Legal Status immediately. Applicants are required to pass a criminal background check, national security checks, and pay taxes
Undocumented non-citizens with a criminal background may also be eligible. As of now, it is not known what criminal convictions will be waived. Please follow this page for updates.
Noncitizens with asylum claims will be eligible to apply even if they have resided in the U.S. for over 1 year. If you think you have a valid asylum claim, call the office to set up a consultation.
Immigrants who face illegal labor conditions are eligible to apply for U-Visas. Illegal conditions can include excessive hours, illegal wage garnishment, payment below the legal level, or hazardous or unsafe working conditions.
Immigrants with approved family-sponsorship petitions will be able to join family in the United States on a temporary basis while they wait for green cards to become available.
Immigrants who are subject to a 3 or 10 year ban due to unlawful presence may be eligible for new forms of relief, as the bill eliminates this bar to admission.
Call our office to be placed on a waitlist for a consultation once the new legislation is passed. Follow our page and website for continued updates.
