While we have many great expectations for reforms to immigration laws and procedures , it is important to realize that as of today, February 1, 2021, Congress has not yet passed any new laws creating a new path to Permanent Residence. Actions more limited in scale that have taken place include lifting of travel bans against nationals of certain Muslim-majority and African nations, the extension of protection for Liberian nationals until June 30, 2022, and suspension of the Migrant Protection Protocols which require certain asylum seekers to wait in Mexico. Much has been spoken of a plan to grant status to all persons who have been in the United States without status or at least to holders of DACA and TPS, however no action has been taken on these plans so far. It would not be appropriate to charge for legal services related to any "new" path to permanent residence that it is hoped will come into being under the Biden administration. Hopefully, that will soon change. What you can do at this time, though, is inform yourself about what changes in immigration law would be needed for you to benefit so that you will be ready when and if new opportunities arise.
