The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act (HRIFA) of 1998 authorized certain Haitian nationals and their dependents to adjust their status to lawful permanent residence. Through September 30, 2005, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), formerly part of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), had received a total of 39,524 HRIFA applications and had approved 14,050. This report, a requirement of HRIFA, seeks to determine (1) the number and categories of applicants who filed applications with USCIS or EOIR, and (2) the number and categories of applicants whose applications were approved by USCIS or EOIR.
