Presently no relief is available to immediate family members of US citizens and veterans who are inadmissible to the US under INA 212 (a)9(c) section 1 and 2. Family members in this category must leave the US for 10years in order to reapply for admission. This harsh penalty makes family unity and legal remedy impossible and can disrupt lives and affect their children's mental state. We petition the Obama Administration to temporarily allow immediate family members with at least 10years living in the US in an 212 (a)9(c) Section 1 and 2 unlawful status considered as "time served" pay a fine and thus be allowed an immigrant visa or paroled as appropriate and be eligible to adjust status.
