Recognizing the critical role of family unity in fostering societal stability and well-being, this Act seeks to amend existing immigration policies to reduce waiting times and provide an expedited path for the adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to obtain green cards and, eventually, U.S. citizenship.

Summary of the Family Reunification and Green Card Priority Act of 2024

This proposed legislation aims to streamline the immigration process for adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs). It addresses long waiting times and strengthens family unity by reclassifying these individuals as immediate relatives, exempting them from annual green card quotas. Key provisions include:

  1. Immediate Relative Status: Adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens and LPRs will qualify as immediate relatives, bypassing annual visa limits.
  2. Increased Family Visa Quotas: Overall family-sponsored immigrant quotas will increase by 50% to prevent delays in other categories.
  3. Backlog Clearance: USCIS will receive additional resources to prioritize and eliminate backlogs within 12 months of enactment.
  4. Pathway to Citizenship: Green card recipients under this Act may apply for naturalization after three years, subject to existing legal requirements.
  5. Reporting and Oversight: DHS will provide annual reports to Congress on the implementation and processing times under this Act.
  6. Funding and Resources: Congress will allocate necessary funding for USCIS personnel and infrastructure improvements.
  7. Sunset Clause: The Act will be effective for 10 years, subject to renewal based on its outcomes.

This Act prioritizes family reunification while ensuring efficiency and equity in the immigration process.

No! Children who were brought here by immigrants who became permanent residence or citizens those children who were raised here they should be given permanent residence. But no no Mom and Dad don’t get to move here get permanent residence and then say oh I got kids that I want to bring over, no if they want to see their kids they can go home to them if they want to live in the same country as them they can go live in that country they left them there they can go live there they should not be able to just Auto get a card.

This is wrong. We already have the law that allows American citizens bring their children, I suggest to improve that law. And children of ILLEGAL immigrants must be deported. Also, please work on your writing skills before voicing any opinion, it’s very difficult to understand your gibberish
