El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) ha implementado la nueva política de "Manteniendo Familias Unidas" el 19 de agosto de 2024, diseñada para permitir que ciertos esposos y hijastros no ciudadanos de ciudadanos estadounidenses soliciten "libertad condicional en el lugar". Esta medida permite que los no ciudadanos que se encuentran en los Estados Unidos sin una admisión legal puedan permanecer temporalmente en el país, sin tener que salir para un procesamiento consular en el extranjero. Si se les concede la libertad condicional, podrán solicitar el ajuste de estatus para convertirse en residentes permanentes legales. Esta política podría beneficiar a aproximadamente 550,000 no ciudadanos, aunque el USCIS implementará medidas estrictas para prevenir solicitudes fraudulentas. https://www.torregozalegal.com/blog/alerta-de-noticias-tribunal-emite-suspensin-administrativa-del-programa-mantener-a-las-familias-unidas monthly 0.5 2024-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64769f9d27aa0309b94636b8/1724965829117-F0A84Q289BI2BLYC73DT/stop-355298_1280.jpg Blog - Immigration News & Updates, Filing & Interview Tips, Success Stories and more! - Alerta de Noticias: Tribunal emite suspensión administrativa del programa Mantener a las Familias Unidas. - Make it stand out Imagen por Anna de Pixabay.
