05/11/2016: USCIS Move Ahead for Fina Rule of Expansion of Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility

  • USCIS initiated this expansion rule as a part of Obama Administration's Immigration Executive Actionss in July 2015 as a "proposed" rule. In September 2015, the USCIS closed the comment period for proposed version of the rule. Since then, the lawful permanent residents and their immediate relatives have been anxiously waiting for finalization and implementation of this rule.
  • Here is fruit. The USCIS drafted and submitted the final rule yesterday, 05/10/2016, to the OMB for its approval. As soon as it is approved, the USCIS is likely to implement this reform probably before the National Election.
  • Currently, DHS allows certain immediate relatives who are in the United States to request a provisional unlawful presence waiver before departing for consular processing of their immigrant visas. Currently, this waiver process is only available to those immediate relatives whose sole ground of inadmissibility would be unlawful presence under section 212(a)(9)(B)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)and who can demonstrate that the denial of the waiver would result in extreme hardship to their U.S. citizen spouse or parent. All other aliens seeking an immigrant visa through consular process who require a waiver of inadmissibility to overcome the bars in INA section 212(a)(9)(B)(i) must file the waiver at the end of the consular processing and after the consular immigrant visa interview. Obtaining the waiver through this process can be lengthy. These aliens typically have to wait abroad for at least several months for a decision on their waiver applications and until a visa can be issued. During this period, applicants must endure separation from the U.S. citizen and lawful permanent resident family members in the United States, which, in turn, often results in emotional and financial hardships to some U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and their families. Inefficiencies in this waiver process also create costs for the Federal Government.
  • This reform willo expand the benefit to those who may be considered a qualifying relative for purposes of the extreme hardship determination to include lawful permanent resident spouses and parents. The changes are made in the interest of family unity and customer service. This rule also removes from the affected regulations all unnecessary procedural instructions regarding office names and locations, position titles and responsibilities, and form numbers. These instructions are often unnecessary, and unrestricted USCIS' ability to better utilize its resources and serve its customers. As a reminder, please review the text of the proposed rule.
