Bill Summary
A bill to amend section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to render available to certain long-term residents of the United States the benefit under that section.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend the registry provision to certain long-term residents of the United States. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement that individuals must have entered the United States prior to July 1, 1924 or January 1, 1972, and instead requires them to have entered the country at least 7 years before the application date. This change would make the registry available to a broader group of long-term residents who have established ties in the United States.
