U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services today issued policy guidance regarding eligibility requirements,
filing and adjudication of adjustment of status applications based on the
Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness (LRIF) provision in the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (NDAA).
The guidance issued today:
· Clarifies the eligibility requirements to adjust status
based on LRIF;
· Provides guidance on the evidence applicants must submit to
adjust their status based on LRIF; and
· Explains that LRIF adjustment applicants may apply for
employment authorization.
LRIF allows certain Liberian
nationals and their spouses, unmarried children under 21 years old, and
unmarried sons and daughters 21 years old or older living in the United States
who meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence (a Green
Card). Aliens applying to adjust status based on LRIF must properly complete
and file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust
Status, by Dec. 20, 2020. Under LRIF, once an applicant adjusts status, they
are immediately eligible to apply for naturalization.
LRIF was
enacted Dec. 20, 2019, under Section 7611 of the NDAA.
