Dear Clients and Colleagues,

Beginning Monday, August 19, 2024, individuals will be able to submit their application for this relief. Upon approval, the spouse and minor children of USC, will be able to secure a work permit and submit their application in the US without having to leave the US.

Upon approval, this application will permit individuals to obtain their residency in the US without having to depart from the US.
