DHS Anuncia los Procesos de Permisos Humanitarios de Reunifición Familiar para-Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras
El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) anunció recientemente la implementación de nuevos procesos para la reunificación familiar (FRP, por sus siglas en inglés) para Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras. Los nuevos procesos son para nacionales de Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras cuyos familiares son ciudadanos estadounidenses o residentes permanentes y que han recibido aprobación de la Forma I-130 pero que se encuentran esperando la disponibilidad de una visa de inmigrante para reunirse con su familia en los Estados Unidos.
En particular, los nacionales de dichos países pueden ser considerados para el permiso de permanencia temporal (parole), por un periodo de hasta 3 años mientras esperan poder solicitar convertirse en residentes permanentes legales.Los procesos comienzan cuando el Departamento de Estado (National Visa Center “NVC”) emite una invitación al ciudadano estadounidense o residente permanente cuyo Formulario I-130 en nombre de un beneficiario Colombiano, El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras ha sido aprobado. Los beneficiarios que esperan una visa de inmigrante pueden incluir ciertos hijos y hermanos de ciudadanos estadounidenses y ciertos cónyuges e hijos de residentes permanentes. El peticionario invitado puede entonces iniciar el proceso presentando una solicitud a nombre del beneficiario y los miembros de la familia elegibles para que puedan ser considerados para autorización anticipada de viaje y el permiso de permanencia temporal.

USCIS issued new Policy guidance on 3- year or 10-year period Unlawful Presence Bars

USCIS issued policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual on inadmissibility under section 212 (a)(9)(B) of the INA, specifically, the effect of returning to the U.S. during the statutory 3- year or 10-year period after departure or removal.

In general, a noncitizen is inadmissible under INA 212(a)(9)(B) if the noncitizen accrues more than 180 days of unlawful presence, departs, or is removed (whichever applies), and again seeks admission within 3-years (if unlawful presence is more than 180 days but less than one year) or 10 years (if unlawful presence is more than one year), respectively, after the departure or removal.

The new guidance states that the noncitizen’s location during the statutory 3-year or 10-year period and the noncitizen’s manner of return to the U.S. during the statutory 3-year or 10-year period are irrelevant for purposes of determining inadmissibility under INA 212(a)(9)(B). This means that a noncitizen who again seeks admission more than 3 or 10 years after the relevant departure or removal, is not inadmissible under INA 212(a)(9)(B) even if the noncitizen returned to the United States, with or without authorization, and served the 3 year/ 10 year bar statutory period inside the US.

Extension of temporary Waiver of 60-Day Rule For Civil Surgeon Signatures on Form I-693

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is extending the temporary waiver of the requirement that civil surgeons must sign Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, no more than 60 days before an individual applies for the underlying immigration benefit (including Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status).
The waiver was originally effective until Sept. 30, 2022, but has been extended it to March 31, 2023, to further ease processing delays and associated difficulties in timely completing the immigration medical examination. This waiver applies to all Forms I-693 associated with applications for underlying immigration benefits that have not been adjudicated, regardless of when the application was submitted to USCIS or when a civil surgeon signed the Form I-693.

Final Rule That Preserve and Fortify the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy

On Aug. 24, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a final rule that will preserve and fortify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy.
The new rule:
• Maintains the existing threshold criteria for DACA;
• Retains the existing process for DACA requestors to seek employment authorization; and
• Affirms the longstanding policy that DACA is not a form of lawful status but that DACA recipients, like other deferred action recipients, are considered “lawfully present” for certain purposes.
The final rule will take effect Monday, Oct. 31, 2022. However, while a July 16, 2021, injunction from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas remains in effect, DHS is prohibited from granting initial DACA requests and related employment authorization under the final rule. Because that injunction has been partially stayed, DHS presently may grant DACA renewal requests under the final rule.

Extension of the Designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status TPS

DHS announces extension of the designation of Venezuela for TPS for 18 months effective September 10, 2022, through March 10, 2024. The 60- day re-registration period for existing TPS beneficiaries runs from September 8, 2022, through November 7, 2022. It is important for re-registrants to timely re-register during the 60- day registration period and not to wait until their EADs expire, as delaying reregistration could result in gaps in their employment authorization documentation.

Public Charge New Rule under the Biden Administration

On September 8, 2022, DHS announced a final rule that will implement the public charge ground of inadmissibility. The final rule will be effective on December 23, 2022 and will apply to applications postmarked and or after that date. Until the effective date of the final rule, USCIS will continue to apply the public charge ground of inadmissibility consistent with the 1999 interim field guidance. USCIS is no longer applying the August 2019 Public Charge Final Rule.

Under the proposed rule, the Federal government would only consider for public charge determination cash assistance programs, including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary assistance for needy families, and state, local, and tribal cash assistance to pay for basic needs such as rent, food and utilities. Immigration Officers should not place any weight on the receipt of non -cash public benefits.
