Previously, the “widow penalty” law mandated that a foreign national married to a U.S. citizen would face deportation if their spouse passed away before their two-year anniversary. Prior to 2009, countless individuals, irrespective of their job, the duration of their relationship, or whether they had children, were compelled to leave the U.S. after losing their spouse.

However, with the introduction of the new law in 2009, those who have lost a U.S.-citizen spouse can now apply for a green card, both for themselves and any children born outside the U.S. This provision may extend to other surviving relatives as well.

If you wish to learn more about the widow penalty in immigration and explore your legal options for staying in the U.S., contact a Los Angeles attorney from Hanlon Law Group, PC.
