Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act of 2026 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 9494: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Haitian nationals who are already in the United States and have temporary, uncertain, or no permanent immigration status. It also affects their spouses, children, and unmarried sons or daughters if they meet the bill’s rules. Immigration agencies and immigration courts would also be affected because they would have to process the new applications, work permits, stays of removal, and reviews.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could turn uncertain immigration status into a direct green card path for some Haitian nationals already living in the United States. It could also stop some removals while cases are pending and let people work legally while they wait. The effect would depend on how many people qualify, how many apply, and how quickly the government processes the cases.
