Tens of thousands of aliens took advantage of this law, by having family petitions or labor certification applications filed on their behalf before the deadline.

There have been several proposals to extend Section 245(i), but these are still bills in Congress, and are not yet law. We strongly support an extension of 245(i), and we urge all people to write to their Senators and Congressmen, urging an extension of Section 245(i).
