4 Major Changes To US Immigration Laws
The U.S. immigration system continues to evolve with new policies and regulations. Here are four recent changes that could affect your case:
1. Adjustment of Public Charge Rule
The definition of who may become a “public charge” has been revised, making it less restrictive. This change affects those applying for green cards and visas.
2. Expanded DACA Protections
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has been expanded to protect more Dreamers from deportation, offering new pathways for work authorization.
3. Family Reunification Enhancements
New policies prioritize family reunification, making it easier for spouses and minor children of permanent residents to obtain green cards.
4. Updated Asylum Procedures
The asylum process has been streamlined, with expedited review processes for certain applicants, reducing wait times for asylum seekers.
Staying updated on these changes is essential for navigating the U.S. immigration system. Consult with an experienced attorney to understand how these laws may impact your situation.
