U.S. Congress Extends DED Program For Liberian Immigrants

UNITED STATES – After calling the COVID relief bill a “disgrace,” President Donald Trump signed the measure on Dec. 28, extending expanded unemployment benefits and an eviction moratorium, averting a government shutdown, and providing a one-year extension to Liberian DED holders.
Subsumed within the $900 billion spending bill passed by Congress on Dec. 21, 2020, was a provision extending the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness program, or LRIF, for one more year. The program, which was initially signed into law in December 2019, was set to expire on Dec. 20, 2020. LRIF provides a pathway for certain Liberians and their eligible family members to apply for lawful permanent resident status, commonly known as a “green card,” and ultimately citizenship. The new deadline for submitting LRIF applications is Dec. 20, 2021.
