YES, YES, the WIDOW PENALTY Has ENDED

Today, the Senate has passed the appropriation bill for DHS fiscal year of 2010, which has an amendment to end the WIDOW PENALTY.

I am extremely happy and more good things will sure to come to our community.

PS: The amendment also gives relief to:

Family Preference relatives (unmarried son or daughter of a citizen, married son or
daughter of a citizen, spouse or child of a permanent resident, brother or sister of a
citizen)
• Employment-based dependents (derivative beneficiaries)
• Refugee/Asylee relative petition beneficiaries
• Nonimmigrants in “T” (victims of trafficking) or “U” (victims of crime) status
• Asylees

Sorry but what does the window penalty mean?

You married to your love one. Applied to become a permanent resident in a timely manner. Unfortunately, your loved one passed away and your married is less than 2 years, you face AUTOMATIC deportation, even if you have child together.
