SR 35 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Memorializes President and Department of Homeland Security to expedite and prioritize certain immigration applications.

This New Jersey Senate resolution requests the President and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS) to prioritize immigration applications for essential workers - such as healthcare personnel and others critical during the pandemic - seeking U.S. citizenship or green cards. It specifically urges expedited processing of existing applications already in the system, not new applications. As a formal request (not a binding law), it does not change immigration rules but asks federal agencies to fast-track cases for those serving in essential roles during the pandemic.
