This program is very restrictive, but does apply to people who meet the requirements below:
The beneficiary must:
- be outside the United States,
- be the principal beneficiary (or a derivative beneficiary spouse or child) of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative,
- be a national of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras,
- have a US-based petitioning relative who filed a Form I-134A on their behalf that USCIS has vetted and confirmed,
- have a petitioning relative in the United States who received an invitation to initiate the new process on their behalf by filing a Form I-134A,
- have not yet been issued an immigrant visa at the time the invitation is issued to the petitioning relative, and
- have an unexpired passport valid for international travel, or possess alternative acceptable documentation as described in the invitation letter issued to the petitioning relative.
There are many questions unanswered by USCIS at this point (such as who is a “US-based petitionerâ€), but we will get more information each week about who qualifies so check our website (www.davidswaimlaw.com) for updates.
