New path to citizenship for the undocumented and immediate green cards for DACA!

U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 

President Biden Sends Immigration Bill to Congress! 

Our Opinion

Here’s what you need to know:

PATH TO CITIZENSHIP !!! 

• A predictable reliable path to green card and citizenship for those undocumented

• If you were here in this country as 1/1/21 (which includes most of you!)

Here’s How:

1. 1st apply for temporary legal status (You will get employment authorization and be able to legally work and stay in this country. (Contact us. We can help!)

2. After 5 years, you can get a green card if you pass criminal and national security background checks and pay taxes.  (Just stay employed, pay your taxes and stay out of trouble.)

3. Dreamers, TPS holders, and immigrant farmworkers who meet specific requirements are eligible for green cards immediately.

4. Become Citizens after 3 years, green card holders who pass additional background checks and demonstrate knowledge of English and U.S. civics.

Translation: Keep your nose clean (stay out of trouble) work hard, pay your taxes and you get to stay and get to become a citizen!!!

Other great benefits of the new bill…

1. No longer called “alien” now just called “noncitizen”.

2. No longer need to wait years to bring love ones here: bill clears backlogs, recapturing unused visas, eliminating lengthy wait times, and increasing per-country visa caps. 

3. No more 3 and 10 year Bars!!!

   So what’s 3/10 year Bar? …

   • Example your father came into the country illegally or came in legally & overstayed his visa > 1yr

   • You want to get him a green card but because he’s is out of status he will have to go back to Finland and come back again. The problem is the minute he leaves for Finland he will have a 10 year bar as a penalty for having over stayed. To get rid of the 10 year bar, he will need to go through a complex procedure (“waiver”) and prove hardship to an “immediate” US Citizen or Green Card relative. The new bill would eliminate the bar and your relative would no longer require a waiver.

4. Allows immigrants with approved family-sponsorship petitions to join family in the United States on a temporary basis while they wait for green cards to become available. 

5. Improve the immigration courts and protect vulnerable individuals. restores fairness and balance to our immigration system by providing judges and adjudicators with discretion to review cases and grant relief to deserving individuals. 

6. Support asylum seekers and other vulnerable populations. The bill eliminates the one-year deadline for filing asylum claims 

7. It also increases protections for U visa, T visa, and VAWA applicants, including by raising the cap on U visas from 10,000 to 30,000.

Exciting new benefits coming soon!

President-elect Biden’s plan for immigration reform in the U.S.

The incoming Biden administration has many new plans for increased benefits and improvements to the U.S. immigration system.

In his first 100 days Biden plans to:

• Update the immigration system

• Reaffirm the country’s commitment to refugees and asylum-seekers

• and welcome foreign nationals into U.S. communities

Biden will put back in place several critical immigration programs from the Obama administration, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA)

DACA was established in 2012 under President Obama. It creates protections for undocumented minors who were brought to the U.S. illegally at a young age. DACA allows non-U.S. citizens to live and work in the U.S. without the risk of deportation. To date, DACA has protected over 800,000 individuals from deportation. Despite it’s sucess, it has come under atttack by the Trump administration. But, on November 14, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York invalidated the agency’s position to refuse DACA applications. DHS must now accept new and renewal DACA applications and issue two-year renewals for DACA beneficiaries instead of Trump’s allowance of only one year renewal and no first time applications. The agency must also issue advance parole travel documents. 

DAPA, a plan created in 2014 by President Obama, intends to help foreign nationals avoid immediate deportation and apply for residency by allowing qualifying undocumented foreign nationals to legally remain in the U.S. for a set period of time. Once implemented, it would protect approximately 3.6 million unauthorized foreign nationals from deportation and provide a pathway to legal employment. Through DAPA, parents of U.S. lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens would potentially qualify for three years of deferred action. The plan never came to fruition, but this too may change under Biden.
