Biden's new plan to Citizenship

Feb 24, 2021

If you are an undocumented person living in the United States, Biden’s new plan could put you on the path to Legal Permanent Residency (LPR) and even Citizenship!

Biden’s presidency is dawning on a new age for immigration. On 02/18/2021, he unveiled his proposed plan for the millions of undocumented persons living in the United States, citizenship being the end goal. 

But the questions on everyone’s minds are: “Who would qualify?” And the more pressing, “Would my family and I qualify?”

So, according to this plan, the following groups would be automatically eligible for green cards: 
  • Farmworkers
  • Those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
  • Undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children 
If you belong to one of the above groups, Biden is pushing for you to be eligible for a green card automatically. Even more exciting is that those belonging to this group would be able to apply for citizenship after only three years of LPR status. 

Other unauthorized immigrants who 

- have been present in the United States before January 01, 2021, and 
- undergo security and background checks, and
- have been filing their taxes, and 
- pay the required U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fees 

will be eligible to be placed on an eight-year plan towards U.S. citizenship!
