| Summary | This document corrects the interim final rule (IFR) that published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2026. The IFR amends its regulations to permit children born in the United States to "foreign government employees" who are not U.S. citizens to register for permanent residence. DHS also made corresponding changes to Form I- 485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and Form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration). This document will restore regulatory language that was unintentionally removed in the September 9, 2026 IFR, with certain conforming edits. |
