The United States government is currently offering a program to regularize the status of thousands of undocumented immigrants. This program would mainly benefit those who live in North America and meet certain requirements.
Therefore, people who find themselves in this condition and after a decade have passed can request a Green Card from the authorities to update their legal status.
How to apply?
In this context, there are many undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States when their parents decided to emigrate from their native countries.
Since they arrived at an early age, they adopted American culture through public education, language, and the way of appropriating customs and traditions.
For this reason, many governments have not been completely clear about carrying out deportations, since these people see the United States as their homeland.
In this regard, a measure has been implemented for some years now that enables these people to apply for a legal residence permit.
We are talking about “The 10-year law” or “Ten yearss law” that allows undocumented immigrants to request “pardon of immigration status.”
This is reported by the news portal Migrantes Latinos, which also explains that with this law people can become permanent residents.
However, after interested parties have been undocumented immigrants for 10 years, they must also meet certain requirements to apply for a Green Card.
The first thing is to have a continuous residence of at least ten years in the United States and continuous physical presence in the country during that time.
On the other hand, it is important that the person does not have a criminal record and must be married to an American citizen. Although, having a child or parent with legal permanent residence also works.
They must also explain what the consequences or ailments of the family would be in the event of deportation.
In the meantime, immigration authorities will evaluate the information and decide whether to approve or reject the application. Therefore, it must be clarified that those 10 years of illegal residence in the country do not es the only step to achieve permanent residence.
