New Temporary Resident Status for Parents and Spouses of US Citizens

This bill aims to simplify obtaining temporary resident status for certain parents and spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. It would allow eligible individuals, such as those with long-term presence in the country and U.S. citizen children or spouses, to legally reside and work in the United States.
Key points
Establishes temporary resident status for individuals present in the U.S. for at least 10 years who are parents or spouses of U.S. citizens or those who entered the U.S. before age 16 and have continuously resided here.
Grants work authorization for temporary residents, with no numerical limits on visas issued.
Temporary resident status is valid for 3 years and can be renewed multiple times, provided conditions are met.
Outlines eligibility requirements, including a clean criminal record, with waivers for certain misdemeanors.
Allows individuals previously removed or deported from the U.S. to apply for this relief if they meet specific criteria.
