On day one of his presidency, President-elect Joe Biden is hoping to provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. Many Latinos voted for Biden on Immigration issues with the hope he would restore and rebuild the immigration system that was further broken by the Trump administration.
Under the proposed legislation, those living in the U.S. as of Jan. 1, 2021, without legal status would have a five-year path to temporary legal status, or a green card, if they pass background checks, pay taxes and fulfill other basic requirements. From there, it’s a three-year path to naturalization, if they decide to pursue citizenship.
For some immigrants, the process would be quicker. So-called Dreamers, the young people who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children, as well as agricultural workers and people under temporary protective status could qualify more immediately for green cards if they are working, are in school or meet other requirements.
President-elect Joe Biden is expected to take swift action on immigration to reverse much of the damage done by the Trump presidency. Attorney Gail Seeram will provide updated #immigrationINFO on GailLaw.com and youtube.com/c/ImmigrationLawyerOrlandoGailSeeram.
