S 5191: Citizenship for International Adoptees Act of 2026

The Citizenship for International Adoptees Act of 2026 grants automatic U.S. citizenship to individuals born outside the United States who were adopted by U.S. citizens before turning 18 and have lived in the country since the law takes effect. To qualify, applicants must have been legally adopted, meet specific residency requirements, and demonstrate a commitment to the U.S. by being physically present in the country on the enactment date. The bill also establishes a fee cap for these applications, setting the cost at no more than half the standard fee for a certificate of citizenship. However, the law excludes individuals with certain criminal convictions, including those involving domestic violence, sexual abuse, burglary, or membership in criminal gangs, as well as those deemed inadmissible or deportable under existing immigration rules.

HR 9803: Protecting Immigrants From Legal Exploitation Act of 2026

The Protecting Immigrants From Legal Exploitation Act of 2026 aims to combat fraud by increasing criminal penalties for individuals who falsely represent themselves as immigration lawyers or provide fraudulent services. It requires non-lawyer immigration service providers to identify themselves on applications and allows victims of unauthorized practice of law to withdraw and resubmit their immigration forms without penalty. The bill also empowers the Attorney General to issue civil injunctions against fraudulent providers and mandates that convicted fraudsters reimburse their clients for services rendered. To support legitimate legal aid, the legislation authorizes funding for outreach programs and grants to nonprofit organizations that provide direct legal assistance to immigrants.
