AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would add a new section to the Immigration and Nationality Act about notices on immigration filings. Within 24 hours after the status of an immigration petition or application changes, an electronic notice of the change would have to be sent. The notice would go to the applicant or petitioner, to any legal representative, and to each person the filing is about. The notice would have to use at least two of these methods: email, phone call (including an automated message), or text message.
