The US Immigration Bureau explained in detail the residence rules of deportation applications, which legalized non-status.

BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua)-According to the Sing Tao Daily, young undocumented Americans began to accept applications for deferred deportation programs on June 5438+05, and the US Department of National Security issued a document explaining in detail the qualifications that applicants need to meet and the details that illegal immigrants care about.

Individual illegal immigrants can start from August 12 and August/20 15, and ask to consider suspending the deportation of those who went to the United States as children. Eligible people can apply for deportation for two years, which can be extended in the future and may be authorized to work. If the deportation stay is approved, you can submit an application to the Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to prove that you have economic needs for employment, and then you may get an employment permit.

The report pointed out that if you want to apply for suspension of deportation, illegal immigrants need to meet the following conditions:

Have lived in the United States for at least 5 years.

She has been living in the United States since June 15, 2007. Short-term random departure before August 20 12 15 will not affect the requirement of continuous residence. However, these departures must be short-lived and reasonable in length for the purpose of departure. And leaving the country is not because of deportation or automatic deportation.

/kloc-illegal entry before June 0/2, or legal immigration status expires before June 0/2.

education

At present, I am studying at school, have graduated or obtained a high school diploma, have obtained a GED certificate of high school equivalent examination, or have been honorably discharged from the US Army or Coast Guard. The so-called "currently at school" means that you are a registered student of the school on the date of submitting your application.

You must be registered in a public or private elementary school, middle school or high school. Or register for educational, cultural and vocational training programs, which must be aimed at helping students get high school education or equivalent, or preparing them for college or employment.

If you register for the English as a second language program, you must prove that it is necessary for university, vocational training or employment, and that you are working hard for these goals.

Applicants must submit direct evidence to prove that they meet the educational requirements. If you are currently studying and are granted a stay of deportation, you need to prove that you have graduated or made measurable progress in school when you apply for an extension two years later.

If your current goal is to participate in a university or vocational training program, when you apply for an extension two years later, you need to prove that you have participated in a university or got a job, or that you have made measurable and great progress towards the goal of completing these projects. More details about the extension procedure will be announced in the future.

No felony record, no more than three misdemeanors.

Anyone who has never been convicted of a felony, serious misdemeanor or other misdemeanor for less than 3 times and has not otherwise posed a threat to national security or public safety may apply. If you are convicted of a felony, or a serious misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and these crimes did not happen on the same day, or because of the same incident, you are not eligible to apply for a stay of deportation.

The so-called felony is a crime that can be sentenced to more than one year in prison. The so-called serious misdemeanor refers to a crime that can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than five days and less than one year, and meets the following standards: domestic violence, sexual assault, theft, illegal possession or use of weapons, drug trafficking, alcoholism or drug driving, etc., all of which are regarded as serious misdemeanor, regardless of the severity of the sentence.

If there is an expulsion order, you can also apply.

In addition, minor traffic violations are not considered within the scope of misdemeanor. However, the applicant's entire criminal history will be taken into account. However, the felony and misdemeanor related to immigration stipulated in the state immigration law are not included.

If you have never entered the deportation procedure, or the deportation procedure has ended before applying for a stay of deportation, you must be at least 15 years old and meet other conditions when submitting your application.

If you are already in the process of deportation, have a final deportation order or voluntarily deported, you are not currently imprisoned for violating immigration laws, even if you were under 15 years old when you applied for suspension of deportation.

When you leave this country, you need to apply for a re-entry permit.

If the Immigration Department agrees to suspend deportation, the applicant must obtain early parole before leaving the United States. If USCIS agrees to suspend deportation and you have a final deportation order, you can apply for re-entry permit. But once you get a re-entry permit from the United States, you must ask for a retrial of the case and leave the country after the case is closed. Please call 1-888-35 1-4024 if you have any questions.

Those with legal visas cannot apply.

If you currently hold a non-immigrant visa, such as F- 1, E-2, H-4 or have temporary protection status (TPS), you may not be able to apply for a stay of deportation.

The suspended deportation policy applies to any eligible illegal immigrants, including those who have never entered the deportation procedure and those who have already entered the deportation procedure. Whether they are issued with a final expulsion order or an automatic expulsion order, they can apply as long as they are not currently detained in an immigration detention center.

These applications should be sent to Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) instead of Immigration Customs Enforcement (USICE). If you are currently detained but think you are qualified, you should report to the police or contact USICE at 1-888-35 1-4024.

The residence time during the application period is also counted.

Unless you are under 18 years old at the time of application, you will still increase your illegal stay in the United States while waiting for a stay of deportation. If the applicant is under 18 years old at the time of application, but has reached 18 years old during the waiting period, the record of illegal residence time will not be added during the waiting period.

If the deportation is suspended successfully, the illegal residence time will not be increased during the suspension of deportation, but the previous illegal residence time still exists.

Suspension of expulsion is not legalization of status.

In addition, even if the application for deferred deportation is approved, it does not mean that you have legally stayed in the United States. In addition, suspending expulsion will not provide you with a way to become a permanent resident or citizen.

The application for suspension of deportation is only applicable to qualified individuals, and their immediate family members may not consider suspension of deportation unless they meet the application conditions. In addition, this procedure is only applicable to individuals who meet these specific qualifications. If they are not eligible, they can also apply to USCIS or ICE for suspension of deportation under certain circumstances, which will be decided by these institutions according to long-standing practice.

The application will not lead to deportation.

Personal information disclosed by deferred deportation applicants will not be shared with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau and CBP, so applicants need not worry about immigration enforcement.

If the applicant's case is transferred to ICE for immigration enforcement, his family information will not be transferred to ICE for immigration enforcement, but it may be shared with organizations including ICE and CBP for reasons such as national security.

According to USCIS documents, despite the suspension of the deportation regulations, the Dream Act is still necessary because it does not provide undocumented passengers with legal status or a way to become citizens.

On June 5438+05, the U.S. government began to accept applications for illegal immigrants, and once again reminded applicants that this procedure will not provide procedures for becoming citizens or permanent residents, nor will it enable applicants to travel abroad.

The application documents can be downloaded from the website of the Immigration Bureau. The applicant must pay a fee of 465 yuan and provide proof of identity and qualification. Applicants must be in the United States on June 5, 20 12 and apply in the United States. It may take months to apply for approval. Applicants should not leave the United States before being approved. If they are allowed to stay in the United States and want to travel internationally, they need to pay 360 yuan's re-entry permit.
