According to Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill), a fierce champion of immigration reform, If president Obama passes Immigration reform it is likely that those who have approved immigration applications will greatly benefit from it.

“I believe he is going to liberate from deportation millions of undocumented who live in the U.S.,” Gutiérrez recently said in an interview with Hoy, a Spanish language Chicago newspaper, talking about the eagerly awaited announcement by President Obama on what executive actions he will take with regard to immigration.

Obama, Gutiérrez added, “will be generous,” and his actions will benefit parents of citizens, people with approved green card applications, immigrants who have lived in the U.S. many years and do not have a criminal record, and others.

Whilst this has to be taken with a grain of salt, but the time, 2-3 weeks, at which USCIS is approving immigration petition might be an indication of what makes Rep Gutierrez so optimistic.

Those who have approved immigration applications will greatly benefit from it. How about those who are still waiting to have I-130's approved and are separated from loved ones, Will they benefit from immigration reform??

Actually, the way this may benefit F2A category is by actually make it like IR category, ie Permanent Resident petitioning for husband/spouse or U21 child will not be subject to visa quota. The minute the petition is approved by USCIS and forwarded to NVC for processing, an immigrant visa will be available.

Bear in mind that regardless of what Obama decides, immigrants will always need a petition to be approved by USCIS and NVC before you are granted a visa.
