To Whom It May Concern:
In light of proposed revisions on DACA-related travel guidelines on form I-131, I am writing to express my opinion that travel eligibility on humanitarian grounds should not be limited to family member's serious illness and death:
"(c) Humanitarian purposes, including travel to obtain medical treatment, attend funeral services for a family member, or visit an ailing relative."
Personally, I have recently been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. However under the current provisions, I am not eligible to travel abroad to visit my family members whom I have not seen for nearly 20 years, in particular my 93-year-old grandparents. While they are currently still in good health, chance of potential illnesses will become increasingly hard to predict considering their advanced age. I believe that the language defining "humanitarian purposes" should be broadened to include scenarios similar to mine.
I sincerely hope that my suggestion will be taken into consideration in the upcoming revision.
Thank you.
