USCIS Seeks Comments on Proposed Expansion of Eligibility for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers

USCIS is seeking comments on a proposed rule that would expand eligibility for provisional waivers of inadmissibility based on the accrual of unlawful presence, to all foreign nationals who are statutorily eligible for an immigrant visa and for a inadmissibility waiver based on unlawful presence.

Note: These proposed changes do not take effect with the publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking. When the final rule is published, the final rule will indicate the date on which foreign nationals may begin to apply for provisional unlawful presence waivers under the changes.
