Los Angeles Widow Penalty Attorneys
Under the old “widow penalty” law, a foreign national who married a United States citizen would be deported if his or her spouse died before their two-year anniversary. Before 2009 — when a new law was passed that ended the widow penalty — thousands of people who had lost a spouse were forced to leave the United States. It didn’t matter what job they had, how long they had known their spouse, or whether they had children.
With the passage of the law ending the widow penalty in immigration, individuals who have lost a U.S.-citizen spouse can apply for a green card for themselves and any children born outside of the U.S. This law may also apply to surviving relatives.
To find out more about the widow penalty in immigration, and your legal options for staying in the United States, contact a Los Angeles lawyer from the Hanlon Law Group, PC.
