INS RELEASES REGULATIONS FOR SYRIAN ADJUSTMENT APPLICATIONS
Late last year, former
President Clinton signed Public Law 106-378, which allows up to 2,000 Syrian
nationals who have been granted asylum in the US to apply for adjustment of
status independent of the annual limit on adjustment applications by asylees.
Regulations implementing this law were published last week.
To be eligible, the applicant must meet the following requirements:
The INS must receive the
application no later than October 26, 2001.
People eligible for adjustment of status under this law who have already
filed an adjustment application under another provision of law can request the
basis for the application be changed to this law.
All applications under this law are to be filed with the Nebraska Service
Center, and must clearly indicate that the application is being filed by a
Syrian asylee under P.L. 106-378.
