Dream provisions.

Does the Essential Workers Section cover me?

Based on your answers, you do not appear eligible to adjust status under new INA 245B's
Essential Workers provisions.

Does the TPS/DED Section cover me?

Based on your answers, you do not appear eligible to adjust status under new INA 245B's
TPS/DED provisions.

Does the recapture language cover me?

Because you have a pending family or employment immigrant visa petition pending, you may
be able to benefit from green card recapture language in the bill. Provisions that allow for
unused immigrant visa numbers from the past to be applied to current backlogs could shorten
your wait for a green card.

Am I eligible for early adjustment?

You may be eligible to file for adjustment of status as a family or employment-based applicant
even though a visa number is not currently available to you if you pay a supplemental fee of
$1500 and $250 for each derivative family member and are otherwise eligible to adjust status.

Am I eligible to waive green card quotas?

The beneficiaries and spouse and children of an approved I-140 filed under the EB-1, EB-2, or
EB-3 categories who have a priority date at least two years old may request the waiver of any
numerical visa limitation if they pay a supplemental fee of $5000.

The beneficiaries and spouse and children of an approved I-526 filed under the EB-5 category
who have a priority date at least two years old may request the waiver of any numerical visa
limitation if they pay a supplemental fee of $50,000.
This provision would take effect within 180 days of passage of the bill or May 1, 2022,
whichever is earlier and this section will remain in force until September 30, 2031 except for
cases where people have paid the above fee before that date. You do not have a pending
family-based immigrant visa and a priority date over two years old so are not eligible for
waiving a family-based quota.

Am I subject to any other new fees?

Applicants who file to adjust status will be required to pay the following additional
supplemental fees:

- $100 for I-130 family-based petitions

- $800 for EB-1 I-140-based petitions
- $800 for EB-2 and EB-3 I-140-based petitions
- $15,000 for EB-5 I-526-based petitions
