INA 245(i) Grandfathering

  1. The concept of “grandfathering” refers to special circumstances in which old regulations may still apply.

  2. Thanks to the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (also known as LIFE), some aliens may qualify for a Green Card who might not otherwise qualify, despite how they may have entered the United States, even if they have remained in the country illegally or worked illegally.

  3. Aliens may qualify if they are the beneficiary of either a Labor Certification application or immigrant visa petition filed on or before April 30, 2001.

  4. It is also possible that the spouse or child of a grandfathered alien may also be grandfathered in as well.
