A major provision of the law is now in place, and we are moving as quickly as possible to develop regulations for all other LIFE benefits. The LIFE Act temporarily extends the ability to preserve eligibility for this provision of law until April 30, 2001. This is an important benefit for eligible individuals. All petitions and applications must be properly filed and approvable when filed. Also provides family unity benefits, which may include employment authorization and protection from certain grounds of deportation, for certain spouses and children of applicants.
Immigration law is very complex.
Those who have concerns about their eligibility for LIFE Act benefits should be cautious to avoid unscrupulous immigration practitioners.
