HOUSE RESOLUTION RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES EXERCISE DISCRETION IN ADJUDICATING STATUS APPLICATIONS CONSISTENT WITH HISTORICAL PRACTICE

Summary

The resolution asks the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to continue allowing spouses of U.S. citizens to adjust status inside the United States, rather than forcing them to apply for visas abroad. It condemns a recent USCIS memorandum that would require consular processing and could separate families. The House directs the state secretary to send the resolution to state and federal officials.
