Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929

Sponsored By: Representative Lofgren, Zoe [D-CA-18]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a 7-year presence requirement for registry eligibility. It would amend Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to relabel the provision for "long-term residents", require applicants to have entered the United States at least seven years before applying, and preserve Section 249 as the statutory basis for registry, with the amendment taking effect 60 days after enactment.

Apply for status after 7 years

This bill would let long‑term noncitizens apply for registry status if they entered the U.S. at least 7 years before they apply. It would replace the old cutoff that only allowed people who arrived before January 1, 1972 to apply. If enacted, the change would start 60 days after enactment. It would not add new programs or funding; it only updates who can apply.
