The Biden administration filed new regulations Monday that will allow some immigrant spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to remain in the United States as they seek lawful permanent resident status.
The new policy, under a program dubbed “Keeping Families Together,” will allow those who are eligible to get parole that will allow them to stay with their families and work. The government started accepting applications Monday.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association said that those eligible are spouses of U.S. citizens who have lived in the United States for more than a decade or are stepchildren of a U.S. citizen.
