President Joe Biden has recently introduced an immigration policy aimed at keeping families together by allowing spouses of US citizens to obtain a Green Card without leaving the country. This measure could benefit approximately half a million spouses in irregular situations in the US. Peru, with around 400,000 Peruvians potentially residing in the US irregularly, may greatly benefit from this new policy.
The executive order, considered one of the most significant immigration reliefs in the past decade, provides more than half a million beneficiaries with a residence permit and protection against deportation, allowing them to begin the process of obtaining residency in the United States. This measure has already impacted migrants in the US and could greatly improve the immigration status of eligible individuals.
Peruvian authorities maintain communication with US authorities regarding immigration and political issues, including recent measures like the executive order and policies for spouses of US citizens. However, specific details about these measures are still being awaited, and caution is advised to avoid scams or misinformation. Continuing collaboration and communication between Peruvian and US authorities is essential in addressing immigration concerns and ensuring the welfare of immigrants.
