On September 10, 2021, the House Judiciary Committee issued a press release: «Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced a committee meeting for Monday, September 13, on legislative proposals under the budget reconciliation instructions.» Before becoming law, the provisions would have to be approved by the Judiciary Committee, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and signed by the Speaker. (Update: On September 13, 2021, «The House Judiciary Committee voted 25-19 along party lines to advance the legislation,» reported Suzanne Monyak of CQ/Roll Call.)
This new House bill could provide relief for the millions of immigrants living in the United States who wait years to obtain a Green Card because of delays in granting legal status.
Although the bill does not contain permanent structural changes to the legal immigration system, it would likely allow more people to obtain permanent residency, which the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 would provide relief to many families, highly skilled immigrants, and employers.
This bill would provide significant benefits and help American employers retain talent, as well as potentially help American universities and improve the lives of many families.
