Reuniting Families Act Introduced

Reuniting Families Act Introduced

Thanks to the leadership of Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Edward Kennedy (D-M.A.), and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) the

Reuniting Families Act was introduced in the Senate on May 20, 2009. The bill contains practical solutions for reducing family immigration visa backlogs and promoting humane and timely reunification of immigrant families. Specifically, the bill includes provisions that would ensure that visas are allocated efficiently, alleviate lengthy wait times that keep legal immigrants and their overseas loved ones separated for years, and decrease measures that prevent family members from obtaining visas.

Please take a moment to send this letter to the four sponsors to thank them for introducing this legislation.
