Individuals who remain physically present may file an application to change their status by contacting the National Benefits Center at 877-424-8374 and speaking to a case officer.\nStatement by Ros-Lehtinen:\n\u201cThis is a crucial time for anyone in the United States who arrived as an orphan under the HELP Haiti Act. While some assume their benefit is permanent, the law is of a limited duration only. Any South Floridian who has questions should inquire immediately as this benefit\u2019s deadline is only a few days away.\u201d\nNOTE: For more information on eligibility under the HELP Haiti Act, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/other-ways-get-green-card/green-card-through-help-haiti-act-2010.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://ros-lehtinen.house.gov/press-release/ros-lehtinen-reminds-south-floridians-there-are-only-few-days-left-apply-change-their"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.28855905495584, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
