国土安全部撤销了“支持誓章”的拟议规则
March 24, 2021
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on March 19, 2021 the withdrawal of the affidavit of support proposed rule, consistent with DHS’s continued commitment to reduce barriers within the legal immigration system which placed increased burdens on American families that are planning to sponsor individuals immigrating to the United States.
The proposed rule from Oct. 2, 2020, would have changed the evidentiary requirements for U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents wishing to sponsor an individual immigrating to the U.S. by completing an affidavit of support under Section 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) on behalf of the intending immigrant.
Consistent with President Biden’s Executive Order 14012, Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans, DHS and USCIS are committed to eliminating the barriers that prevent legal immigrants from accessing government services available to them.
