Coalition Effort Advocates for the Inclusion of Visa-Related Provisions in Budget Reconciliation
Published
The American Immigration Council joined 89 other organizations in a letter to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary to include visa-related provisions in the budget reconciliation. Specifically, the letter calls for the recapture of unused family- and employment-based green cards and advanced adjustment of status filing provisions which would allow some people with approved immigrant visa petitions to become U.S. permanent residents more rapidly. The reforms would ensure that more individuals do not fall out of immigration status.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
