Provisional unlawful presence waivers for children of LPRs and USCs
 
This is actually really important for those of us who have LPR (green card holder) or USC parents but who have turned 21 and are no longer considered immediate relatives. The new executive action classifies all children of LPRs and USCs as immediate relatives, not just minor children.

It's really good news for those of us who were going to use AP for consular processing and were unsure if it would work. Now we won't need to do that because we can get a waiver.

The definition of "extreme hardship" is also changing to be less restrictive, which means it will be easier to get a waiver.

This practically eliminates the chances of 10 year bars being issued for most people with unlawful presence and approved I-130 petitions and current priority dates, i.e., a visa is available.

FYI.

Waiting for confirmation from official sources in the next few months.

I'm abit confused? So what your saying is for example "I'm 21 about to turn 22 and my mom is a LPR and she wants to petition me to get a green card, I would be considered a Immediate relative??

Expanding the use of provisional waivers of unlawful presence to include the spouses and sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents and the sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
That means all sons and daughters of LPRs and USCs; not only minor children.

Just wanna make sure that this is true.i haven't read anywhere on there site saying that being petitioned by a LPR(green card holder) will now be considered a immediate relative?
