Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Executive Officer for Immigration Review relating to "Circumvention of Lawful Pathways".
HJRES 83 is a congressional resolution seeking to block a specific immigration rule. It targets a rule issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) on May 16, 2023, which addressed "Circumvention of Lawful Pathways" in immigration processes. If approved, the resolution would nullify this rule, preventing it from taking effect under federal law. This action directly affects how USCIS and immigration courts apply this particular policy to immigration cases. The resolution uses a standard procedural mechanism (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code) to disapprove the rule without altering broader immigration law.
