Bill > HR1871

This bill, the Protect Patriot Parents Act, aims to make certain aliens who are parents of U.S. citizen veterans eligible for adjustment to permanent residence status. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It deems eligible alien parents to have been inspected and admitted into the United States, exempting them from certain grounds of inadmissibility, such as having entered the country without being admitted. 2. It allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive other grounds of inadmissibility, such as having previously misrepresented a material fact to obtain a visa, if the alien does not pose a threat to the public and has not committed any criminal offenses unrelated to their immigration status. 3. To be eligible, the alien must be the parent of a U.S. citizen who is or was serving on active duty or in a reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces, and if discharged, was discharged under honorable conditions. The overall goal of the bill is to provide a pathway to permanent residency for the parents of U.S. citizen veterans, even if the parents entered the country without authorization or have other immigration-related issues that would otherwise make them inadmissible.
