What it does
The bill would amend section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand eligibility for the registry provision to certain long-term residents of the United States who have entered the country at least seven years before applying, replacing the previous cutoff dates of July 1, 1924, or January 1, 1972. It affects individuals seeking lawful permanent resident status through the registry process by updating the criteria to focus on duration of residence rather than specific historical entry dates. The change would take effect 60 days after enactment.
