USCIS Reminds Chilean Nationals of Immigration Benefits Available

March 12, 2010 by Thomas Geygan

WASHINGTON—In light of the recent natural catastrophes in Chile, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Chileans of U.S. immigration benefits available to eligible Chilean nationals upon request.

USCIS understands that a natural catastrophe can affect an individual’s ability to establish or maintain lawful immigration status. Temporary relief measures available to nationals of Chile may include:

The grant of an application for change or extension of nonimmigrant status on behalf of a Chilean national who is currently in the United States, even in cases where the request is submitted after the individual’s authorized period of admission has expired;

Re-parole of individuals granted parole by USCIS;

Extension of certain grants of advance parole, expedited processing of advance parole requests;

Expedited adjudication and approval, where possible, of requests for off-campus employment authorization due to severe economic hardship for F-1 students;

Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relative(s) of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs);

Expedited issuance of employment authorization where appropriate; and

Assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without documents in coordination with the Department of State.
