The Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), S. 424/H.R. 1024, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born permanent partners for legal residence in the U.S.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the bill June 3.
