The Biden administration has issued over 3.3 million federal work permits to undocumented immigrants, despite a 180-day waiting period for work permits. This is due to the Immigration and Naturalization Service's regulation in 1996, which required asylum seekers to wait six months before applying for work permits.
President Biden has gradually reduced this requirement, achieving a record of over 530 immigration-related executive actions and numerous rules over four years.
The administration has expanded admissions or established new pathways through eight significant programs, including family reunification programs for eligible individuals from Honduras, Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba, Afghanistan and Ukraine, and a distinct direct flight program for Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
The CBPOne application allows non-US citizens to schedule meetings with American border officials, with around 2.3 million individuals entering the US using these methods by autumn 2023. However, these illegal immigrants may lack legal immigration status and would not qualify for legal permanent residency or a green card through these programs.
