WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is proposing to make it easier for illegal immigrants who are immediate family members of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a move that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally.
The new rule, which the
Department of Homeland Security will post for public comment Monday, would reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said. Currently, such immigrants must leave the country to apply for a legal visa, often leading to long stints away as they await resolution of their applications.

It is an honor to be nominated for the White House Champions of Change. My Pastor Dr. Ternae Jordan Sr. once told me that in order to fulfill my true purpose, it should become “my ministry.” That’s what I have the honor of doing on my job every day as the Regional Coordinator for the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at the Southeast Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability. One of the problems that I see and strive to address is the fact that many within the community are disproportionately isolated from services and information due to barriers within many service delivery systems. It is my desire to increase awareness of topics important to seniors and caregivers as well as to continually strive to inform and educate the community about health insurance.
