     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Citizenship for Essential Workers Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill establishes a mechanism for eligible aliens who worked as essential workers during the declared COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency to apply for and obtain permanent resident status. The bill also narrows certain grounds for deportability and inadmissibility.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To be eligible for permanent resident status under this bill, an alien must have earned income at any point during the COVID-19 emergency period doing work deemed essential by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or a state or local government. An alien may also be eligible if that alien is a parent, spouse, or child of (1) an eligible alien who died from COVID-19, or (2) a member of the Armed Forces. Certain aliens shall be ineligible, such as an alien who was a refugee on January 1, 2021. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To obtain permanent resident status under this bill, an applying alien must satisfy additional requirements, including by passing a background check. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the bill repeals provisions providing for three-year bars and permanent bars to admission into the United States. (Generally, these bars apply to aliens who were previously removed or unlawfully present in the United States.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also narrows the scope of certain crime-based grounds for inadmissibility or deportability, such as by redefining the term &lt;em&gt;conviction&lt;/em&gt; to exclude expunged convictions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Department of Justice or DHS may waive certain grounds of inadmissibility or deportability (1) for humanitarian purposes, (2) to ensure family unity, or (3) for the public interest.&lt;/p&gt;

 <p><strong>Citizenship for Essential Workers Act</strong></p> <p>This bill establishes a mechanism for eligible aliens who worked as essential workers during the declared COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency to apply for and obtain permanent resident status. The bill also narrows certain grounds for deportability and inadmissibility.</p> <p>To be eligible for permanent resident status under this bill, an alien must have earned income at any point during the COVID-19 emergency period doing work deemed essential by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or a state or local government. An alien may also be eligible if that alien is a parent, spouse, or child of (1) an eligible alien who died from COVID-19, or (2) a member of the Armed Forces. Certain aliens shall be ineligible, such as an alien who was a refugee on January 1, 2021. </p> <p>To obtain permanent resident status under this bill, an applying alien must satisfy additional requirements, including by passing a background check. </p> <p>Furthermore, the bill repeals provisions providing for three-year bars and permanent bars to admission into the United States. (Generally, these bars apply to aliens who were previously removed or unlawfully present in the United States.)</p> <p>The bill also narrows the scope of certain crime-based grounds for inadmissibility or deportability, such as by redefining the term <em>conviction</em> to exclude expunged convictions. </p> <p>The Department of Justice or DHS may waive certain grounds of inadmissibility or deportability (1) for humanitarian purposes, (2) to ensure family unity, or (3) for the public interest.</p>
