Breaking Down the New Initiative from DHS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a new program aimed at reuniting families. This initiative allows certain noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to stay in the U.S. legally while they work on their immigration paperwork.

Who Qualifies?

To be eligible, you must:

• Be married to or the stepchild of a U.S. citizen.

• Be living in the U.S. without legal permission.

• Have been living in the U.S. continuously for a certain period.

• Have a clean criminal record.

How Does it Work?

• Online Application: You'll need to fill out the I-131F form online.

• Filing Fee: There's a fee of $580 to submit the form.

• Provide Evidence: You'll need to submit documents to prove your relationship, identity, and continuous presence in the U.S.
