| USCIS-Permanent Residency for Surviving Spouses and Children Of Citizens |
|
By Memorandum dated December 14, 2009, Secretary Napolitano and Director Mayorkas have announced the implementation of the new law proving permanent residency (Green Card) eligibility for surviving spouses and children of U.S. citizens.
Under this new law and directive recently signed by President Obama, all widows and/or widowers and children of U.S. citizens are eligible to apply for green card status regardless of how long the couple was married. Previously, affected widows/widowers had to show that they were married to the U.S. citizen for at least 2 years. This new law applies to widows/widowers living abroad as well as those residing in the United States who seek to apply for adjustment of status.
