HR 3832

This bill, the Kerrie Orozco First Responders Family Support Act, aims to make it easier for the immediate family members of public safety officers who die in the line of duty to become U.S. citizens. It amends existing immigration law to waive the usual requirements of prior residence or physical presence in the United States for these family members seeking naturalization. Specifically, it applies to surviving spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens whose spouse, parent, or child died due to injury or disease related to their public safety employment. The bill references the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 for the definition of ‘public safety officer.’
