Reuniting Families Act

Reuniting Families Act
Bill Summary

Senator Menendez (D-NJ), Senator Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Kennedy (D-MA) plan to introduce the Reuniting Families Act, a bill to help family members reunite in America in a timely manner. This bill would reform America’s family-based immigration system to end lengthy separations of loved ones, promote family stability and foster the economic growth that immigrant families have provided throughout our history.

As a result of current long waits, many family members who apply for visas in the prime of their lives are not granted admission until they reach retirement age, undermining their economic contribution to our country and encouraging some frustrated relatives to resort to illegal migration.
Be sure to read the rest of this report! This is only a small part of it.
