Summary

Kerrie Orozco First Responders Family Support Act

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to waive the naturalization requirements of residence and physical presence for an alien who is the surviving spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen who dies from an injury or disease incurred in or aggravated by employment as a first responder. (A surviving spouse must have been living in marital union with the citizen spouse at the time of death.)

The bill defines U.S. citizen and citizen spouse to include persons granted posthumous citizenship under this bill.

The Department of Homeland Security shall, upon approval of a request for posthumous citizenship filed by the next-of-kin or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, provide such citizenship as of the time of death to an alien or noncitizen national who was employed as a first responder and died as a result of injury or disease incurred in or aggravated by such employment.
