A new U.S. immigration policy is launching this week, offering protections for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens and streamlining work visa access.

The Biden administration program is expected to offer hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. to apply for lawful residency. – without having to leave the country
