New U.S. Immigration Program Offers Path to Residency for Spouses of American Citizens

 

President Biden recently announced a significant immigration program that aims to provide legal status and a streamlined path to U.S. residency and citizenship for approximately half a million unauthorized immigrants who are married to American citizens. Here are the key details:

  1. Eligibility Criteria:

    • Immigrants must have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years.
    • They should be married to U.S. citizens.
    • Other requirements apply, but this program offers an opportunity for spouses to apply for work permits and deportation protections.
  2. Path to Permanent Residency:

    • The program unlocks a path to permanent residency (commonly known as a green card) for many beneficiaries.
    • After 5 years as a green card holder, immigrants can apply for U.S. citizenship.
  3. Comparison to DACA:

    • This program would be the largest government initiative for undocumented immigrants since the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
    • DACA currently shields around 528,000 Dreamers (those brought to the U.S. as children) from deportation.
  4. Executive Action:

    • President Biden’s move is the second significant executive action on immigration in recent months.
    • Earlier in June, he invoked a presidential power to disqualify most migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border from asylum.

In summary, this program aims to protect spouses of U.S. citizens, allowing them to work legally and pursue permanent residency. It’s a significant step toward immigration reform.
