Creates a path for certain Venezuelans to become permanent U.S. residents.
This bill would create a new way for certain Venezuelan nationals to become lawful permanent residents in the U.S. It would let those who meet specific requirements, including an entry date before December 31, 2021, apply for a green card. This changes the current system where they must use general immigration pathways.
Today, Venezuelan nationals typically apply for permanent residency through general immigration programs or asylum. This bill would create a new, specific pathway for eligible Venezuelans and their immediate family members to become lawful permanent residents. It would also protect them from removal while their applications are being reviewed and exempt them from certain reasons for being denied entry.
