New immigration policy of the United States 20 19

In the past year, there have been many changes in people's policies, many of which will also affect immigrants who legally enter the United States. However, not all the new regulations are punitive, and some regulations will also help foreign citizens get green cards faster.

In 20 19, the following five new regulations will have a significant impact on legal immigrants.

I. repatriation rules

According to the new procedural requirements of the Immigration Bureau for the notice of appearing in court, the reasons why immigrants are summoned to appear in court or even repatriated by immigration judges are further increased, including accepting public welfare provided by the federal or state, fraud or criminal acts.

Second, reject the application directly and don't send RFE.

According to a new guideline, the Immigration Bureau can now directly reject the application for naturalization, green card or visa extension, without sending the applicant a notice requesting supplementary materials (commonly known as RFE) or a notice of rejection intention.

After receiving the above notice, the applicant and his lawyer still have the opportunity to supplement the materials or correct the mistakes in the initial materials. But now, as long as the materials submitted for the first time do not meet the requirements, immigration officials can directly refuse the application and end the application, which puts more pressure on the applicant when preparing for the first time.

According to the Immigration Bureau, this is done to avoid incomplete or hasty applications and to make time for processing other applications.

Three, medical examination and vaccination records

A new policy will affect the physical examination and vaccination of green card applicants to meet the health requirements for entering the United States. In order to improve efficiency, the Immigration Bureau has expanded the application scope of the I-693 form, and authorized doctors can sign the I-693 form at most two months before the application.

Fourth, the conditions for marriage and naturalization.

According to the new policy of the Immigration Bureau, non-citizens who marry American citizens must have been married and lived together for more than three years when submitting their applications for marriage and naturalization. If the marriage between the applicant and an American citizen has ended before the naturalization oath, he/she is not eligible for naturalization.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) marriage green card interview

According to the New Deal, for those temporary green card holders who have been married to American citizens for less than two years, as long as they can ensure that the marriage is true and valid and meet other conditions, immigration officials have the right to exempt them from the interview process before obtaining a permanent green card.
