Section 902 (k) of the act requires the Comptroller General to report every 6 months on the number of Haitian nationals who have applied and been approved to adjust their status to lawful permanent residence. The reports are to contain a breakdown of the number of Haitians who applied and the number who were approved as asylum applicants, parolees, children without parents, orphaned children, or abandoned children; or as the eligible dependents of these applicants, including spouses, children, and unmarried sons or daughters. Reports are to be provided until all applications have been finally adjudicated. This is our fifteenth report. Our objectives for this report were to determine (1) the number and categories of applicants who filed applications with USCIS or EOIR and (2) the number and categories of applicants whose applications were approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-168R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-168R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-168R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-168R.pdf GAO-07-168R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-168R Correspondence GAO-07-168R; Immigration Benefits: Fifteenth Report Required by the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act of 1998; Data integrity Immigration Immigration and naturalization law Immigration information systems Judicial remedies Naturalization Refugees Reporting requirements Resident aliens Statistical data Asylum EOIR Automated Nationwide System for Immigration Review Volume 112 Page 2681-538 112 Stat. 2681-538 Public Law 105-277 Public Law 106-553 Public Law 106-554
