Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 91 / Thursday, May 13, 2021 / Notices
Program Modernization. See 84 FR
35750 (Jul. 24, 2019). In response to a
public comment regarding derivative
filing, DHS responded that it ‘‘proposed
to standardize the process for those
derivatives who file an individual Form
I–829 petition and cannot be included
on the principal’s Form I–829, generally
because the principal fails or refuses to
file a Form I–829. Under these
circumstances, the final rule clarifies
the current DHS practice of requiring all
derivatives connected to a single
principal investor to file separately . . .
This final rule only allows derivatives to
apply together on a single Form I–829
petition when the principal is deceased,
because INA 204(l) directs DHS to
adjudicate ‘notwithstanding the death of
the qualifying relative.’ . . .This rule
does not change the current DHS
practice, and DHS is simply clarifying
language in 8 CFR 216.6(a)(1) to avoid
a situation where derivatives filing
separately do so incorrectly, causing
their petition to be rejected.’’ 84 FR at
35782.
Reasons for Change
DHS is clarifying language from the
preamble of both the NPRM and the
Final Rule with this form revision
regarding who may file the form. When
DHS stated that a derivative may file a
Form I–829 petition if the principal
immigrant investor ‘‘fails or refuses to
file a Form I–829,’’ DHS was referring to
the principal’s failure or refusal to file
a Form I–829 for the derivative(s). The
current DHS practice is for derivatives
not included on the principal’s Form
I–829 to file a separate Form I–829.
Therefore, DHS intended the comment
response in the Final Rule to be read as:
DHS proposed to standardize the
process for those derivatives who file an
individual Form I–829 petition and
cannot be included on the principal’s
Form I–829, generally because the
principal fails or refuses to file a Form
I–829 for the derivative(s).
DHS understands that the failure to
include ‘‘for the derivative(s)’’ may have
caused confusion concerning whether
the derivative of a principal immigrant
investor can petition for and obtain the
removal of conditions if the principal
immigrant investor has not petitioned to
remove his or her conditions. Through
its regulation, DHS only intended to
clarify existing practice for derivatives
seeking to remove conditions on
permanent residence. Currently, if the
principal immigrant is unable to remove
his or her conditions, the derivative
immigrant is generally unable to remove
his or her conditions, except where the
principal has died, as statutorily
required by INA 204(l).

This is consistent with the terms
‘alien spouse’ and ‘alien child’ as
defined by INA 216A(f)(2). It is also
consistent with 8 CFR 216.6(a)(1)(ii),
and how derivative status is similarly
interpreted across immigration benefits:
That a derivative generally does not
have status without the principal.
