Immigrant Petitions; Children of Widows or Widowers

This rule adopts without change an interim rule published in the Federal Register on July 31, 1995, by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (``the Service''), which amended the Service's regulations by providing clarifying language and procedures for according immigrant status to children of widows or widowers who were not previously eligible for immigration benefits as derivative immediate relatives. This rule was necessary to enhance family well- being by promoting the family unity relationship between the child and his or her widowed mother or father.
