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 amends Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the availability of the "registry" provision, which allows certain long-term residents of the United States to be granted lawful permanent residence. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement that individuals must have entered the United States prior to specific dates (July 1, 1924 or January 1, 1972) and instead requires only that they have resided in the United States for at least 7 years prior to applying. The amendments made by this bill will take effect 60 days after the date of its enactment.
