Philadelphia Immigration Attorney Supports USCIS Proposal for Legal Permanent Resident Status

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today a proposal to streamline the application process for the spouses and children of U.S. citizens currently eligible for legal permanent resident status. Proposed change: those eligible who apply for legal permanent residence and need a family unity waiver to re-enter the U.S. will be allowed to apply for waiver without 1st leaving. Currently, as soon as they leave, they are immediately barred from re-entering for 3 or 10 years if they have been unlawfully present in the U.S. for more than 180 days.

Philadelphia Immigration Attorney Peter Johnston joins the American Immigration Council in support of this proposed sensible and humane rule change.
