Immigration: Adjustment to Permanent Resident Status Under Section 245(i)

Congressional Research Service Report for Congress

....The Senate may again consider extending a controversial immigration provision
known as §245(i). On March 12, 2002, the House passed such an extension. Section
245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act was first enacted as a temporary
provision in 1994 and has been extended several times since then. It enables
unauthorized aliens in the United States who are eligible for immigrant visas based on
family relationships or job skills to become legal permanent residents (LPRs) without
leaving the country, provided they pay an additional fee. Before an alien can apply
to adjust to LPR status, the alien must have an approved immigrant visa petition and
must have a visa number immediately available to him or her. Currently, to be eligible
to adjust status under §245(i), an unauthorized alien must be the beneficiary of an
immigrant petition or labor certification application filed by April 30, 2001. An
unauthorized alien whose petition or application was not filed by April 30, 2001 must
go overseas to obtain a visa.
Section 245(i) became more significant after 1996, when Congress enacted a law
containing a provision known as the “3 and 10 year bars.” Now an alien who is
unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days and then leaves the
country is barred from re-entry for either 3 or 10 years, depending on the length of
the illegal stay. By enabling eligible aliens to become LPRs without departing the
country to obtain visas, §245(i) shields them from the effects of these bars.
Bills before the 107th Congress would extend the deadline under §245(i) for filing
immigrant petitions or labor certification applications. In September 2001, the Senate
amended and passed a §245(i) bill (H.R. 1885). As amended by the Senate, H.R.
1885 would extend the filing deadline to the earlier of April 30, 2002, or the date that
is 120 days after the Attorney General issues final regulations. In March 2002, the
House passed H.Res. 365, in which it concurred in the Senate amendment to H.R.
1885 with additional amendments. The House amended the Senate-passed §245(i)
language to extend the filing deadline to the earlier of November 30, 2002, or the date
that is 120 days after the Attorney General issues final regulations. In addition, both
the House-passed and Senate-passed bills would add new restrictions to §245(i). In
the case of family-sponsored immigrant petitions filed after April 30, 2001, for
example, both bills would amend §245(i) to require the alien beneficiary to
demonstrate that the underlying family relationship existed prior to August 15, 2001.

Immigration Legislation and Issues in the 107th Congress

Congressional Research Service Report for Congress

...Top immigration issues before the 107th
Congress include the reorganization of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS),
a part of the Department of Justice (DOJ);
admissions policy; and the eligibility of noncitizens
for public assistance. Also pending
are measures to enable unauthorized aliens to
become legal permanent residents (LPRs) and
to reform temporary guest worker programs.
On July 26, 2002, the House passed a bill
to create a new homeland security department
(H.R. 5005). Under the bill, INS’s enforcement
functions would be transferred to the
new department, while INS’s service functions
would remain in DOJ in a new bureau.
On July 25, the Senate Governmental Affairs
Committee agreed to the Lieberman amendment,
as a substitute to S. 2452, which would
transfer all of INS to a new homeland security
department under a directorate of immigration
affairs. The Administration has proposed
transferring all of INS to a new homeland
security department, but placing it under a
border and transportation security division...
