Amnesty for approx 1-million Illegal Aliens......

Obummer strikes again - ignoring Congress:

On January 9, 2012,
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced its
intention to change its current process for filing and adjudication of
certain applications for waivers of inadmissibility filed in connection
with an immediate relative immigrant visa application. USCIS now
proposes to amend its regulations to allow certain immediate relatives
of U.S. citizens who are physically present in the United States to
request provisional unlawful presence waivers under the Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (INA or Act), prior to departing
from the United States for consular processing of their immigrant visa
applications. Currently, such aliens must depart from the United States
and request waivers of inadmissibility during the overseas immigrant
visa process, often causing U.S. citizens to be separated for extended
periods from their immediate relatives who are otherwise eligible for an
immigrant visa and admission for lawful permanent residence. Under the
proposal, USCIS would grant a provisional unlawful presence waiver that
would become fully effective upon the alien's departure from the United
States and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) consular officer's
determination at the time of the immigrant visa interview that, in light
of the approved provisional unlawful presence waiver and other evidence
of record, the alien is otherwise admissible to the United States and
eligible to receive an immigrant visa. USCIS does not envision issuing
Notices to Appear (NTA) to initiate removal proceedings against aliens
whose provisional waiver applications have been approved. However, if
USCIS, for example, discovers acts, omissions, or post-approval activity
that would meet the criteria for NTA issuance or determines that the
provisional waiver was granted in error, USCIS may issue an NTA,
consistent with USCIS's NTA issuance policy, as well as reopen the
provisional waiver approval and deny the waiver request. USCIS
anticipates that the proposed changes will significantly reduce the
length of time U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate
relatives who are required to remain outside of the United States for
immigrant visa processing and during adjudication of a waiver of
inadmissibility for the unlawful presence. USCIS also believes that the
proposed process, which reduces the degree of interchange between the
DOS and USCIS, will create efficiencies for both the U.S. Government and
most applicants. In addition to codifying the new process, USCIS
proposes amendments clarifying other regulations.Show citation box

Even after
USCIS begins accepting provisional unlawful presence waiver
applications, the filing or approval of a provisional unlawful presence
waiver application will not: confer any legal
status, protect against the accrual of additional unlawful presence,
authorize an alien to enter the United States without securing a visa or
other appropriate entry document, convey any interim benefits (e.g.,
employment authorization, parole, or advance parole), or protect an
alien from being placed in removal proceedings or removed from the
United States.
