S.2603: Resolving Extended Limbo for Immigrant Employees and Families Act
Overview
The RELIEF Act (S.2603) would increase the number of available immigrant visas to eliminate the employment and family green card backlogs within five years, classify spouses and children of lawful permanent residents as immediate relatives, provide an opportunity for “aging out” children to qualify for lawful permanent residents status based on a parent’s immigration petition, and lift the per-country visa caps, among other provisions.
H.R. 5327 is the House companion bill introduced by Rep. Donna Shalala.
