What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: apply section 101(a)(27)(C)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act with a later date substituted each place the date appears.

Nothing else. The section is a single sentence.

The section changes how an older law is read. What section 101(a)(27)(C)(ii) provides is not recorded here, because that Act is not indexed on this site.
