H.R.398 – Tolling the period of time during active military duey in the Armed Forces to file & appear for an interview to remove CR – became law

H.R.398 ammends the Immigration and Nationality Act to toll, during active-duty service abroad in the Armed Forces, the periods of time to file a petition and appear for an interview to remove the conditional basis for permanent resident status, and for other purposes. This means that people serving in an oversea military duty will not be required to follow the same time requirement to file and show up for an interview to remove their condition for permanent resident status. This law is to prevent any unfair result in missing immigration filing deadlines for active military members abroad. The bill was sponsored by Representatie Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and became law on November 23, 2011.
