Latest update on US Immigration. President Biden ready to sign Senate version of Build Back Better Bill with Immigration provisions which recaptures green card and reduce visa backlog and provides work authorization for millions with Plan C.
Build back better enters Senate and it is ready to be passed before Christmas.
we will discuss about the possible roadblocks for the immigration provisions of the Build Back Better Act.
Democrats in the House passed their massive spending bill last week.
It includes $1 Billion for following immigration provisions, Work permits for millions, US Visa and Green card recapture Provisions to recapture 2 million unused GreenCards, Waive annual and per-country limitations with super fee, Child Tax Credit, temporary “parole” protections for 7.1 million undocumented immigrants.
This bill will transform the lives of millions of people, from high-skilled visa holders trapped in the green card backlog, to family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, to undocumented people who have been living in and contributing to United States for years.
It includes the following.
Work permits for millions. Democrats are offering a temporary parole option — essentially a work permit — for close to 7 million undocumented immigrants who have lived in the country, at least since Jan. 1, 2011. That’s a significant portion of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. today. Those eligible would be protected from deportation and could receive a work permit.
Green card recapture. If passed as currently written, the bill could recover more than one million green cards previously authorized by Congress, that have gone unused since 1992.
Under the current draft bill, some employment-based green card applicants who have been waiting in the backlog for at least two years will be able to pay a $5,000 supplemental fee, to waive the annual and per-country limitations and become permanent residents more quickly, other wise they have to wait years — or even decades. Similarly, Family-based applicants who have been waiting at least two years, may apply to waive the limitations with a fee of $2,500 to become GreenCard holders.
The bill also aims to protect greencards for Diversity Visa winners, who were prevented from entering the U.S, during the previous administration’s various travel bans, Covid-related entry bans, and Embassy and consulate closures.
Child Tax Credit. Under the Trump administration, roughly one million children with undocumented parents were barred from receiving Covid-related financial assistance. The new bill proposes reversing the rule. These child tax credit is worth up to $3,600 for children under six, and up to $3,000 for children ages 6-17.
Temporary Parole. House Democrats revised version also includes plans, that would make undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before 2011 eligible for temporary “parole” protections but this will not provide a pathway to citizenship.
This bill will transform the lives of millions of people, from high-skilled visa holders trapped in the green card backlog, to family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, to undocumented people who have been living in and contributing to United States for years.
