The Venezuelan Adjustment Act aims to provide a pathway to lawful permanent residence for eligible Venezuelan nationals currently residing in the United States. To qualify, an individual must be a national of Venezuela who entered the U.S. on or before December 31, 2021 , and has maintained continuous physical presence for at least one year as of their application date. Spouses, children, and unmarried sons or daughters of eligible Venezuelans may also apply for adjustment of status under this Act, provided they submit their application within three years of the Act's enactment. Applicants for adjustment of status will benefit from several provisions, including the waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility related to public charge, labor certification, and documentation requirements. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security authorize employment for applicants whose petitions are pending for over 180 days and have not been denied. Furthermore, it allows individuals with existing orders of exclusion, deportation, or removal to apply, with such orders being canceled upon approval of their adjustment. However, individuals convicted of an aggravated felony , two or more crimes involving moral turpitude, or those who participated in persecution are ineligible for this relief. The Act specifies that the adjustment of status will not reduce the number of immigrant visas available under other provisions of immigration law.
