America There is good news for people from all over the world waiting to settle in America. America is considering giving green cards to 5 lakh immigrants i.e. foreign citizens. On getting the green card, a person becomes a permanent citizen of America. In fact, US President Joe Biden is taking a comprehensive step in the election year which can provide relief to millions of immigrants living in the country without any legal status till now and can clear the way for them to get American citizenship. This move is being seen as an attempt to balance the aggressive policy adopted by him on the border at the beginning of the month. His aggressive stance had angered many Democratic MPs.
These will be the rules to get a green card
The Biden administration will allow some spouses of US citizens living without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship in the coming months, the White House announced on Tuesday. According to senior administration officials, the move could benefit more than 500,000 immigrants. To obtain citizenship, an immigrant must have lived in the US for at least 10 years by the period completed on Monday and must be married to a US citizen. If a qualified immigrant’s application is approved, he or she will have three years to apply for a green card, and will receive a temporary work permit and protection from deportation in the meantime.
The application process will begin by the end of summer
About 50,000 noncitizen children who have one parent who is a U.S. citizen could also potentially be eligible for the same process, according to senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the proposal. There is no requirement for how long a couple must be married, and no one will be eligible after Monday. That means immigrants who reach the 10-year mark any time after June 17, 2024, will not be eligible for the program, according to officials. Senior administration officials said they anticipated the application process would open by the end of the summer, and the application fee has not yet been set.
