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

SR 48 is a non-binding Senate resolution from New Jersey requesting the President and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to prioritize immigration applications for essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically urges expedited processing for individuals classified as essential - particularly those in healthcare and other critical fields - who are seeking U.S. citizenship or green cards. The resolution does not create new law but formally asks federal agencies to accelerate these applications amid pandemic-related delays. It directly affects immigrant workers in essential sectors who face prolonged processing times under current systems.
