Immigrant residency bids rise in Iowa and Nebraska
About 4 500 illegal immigrants have applied for permanent residency in the United States at the Des Moines and Omaha INS offices this year with roughly 3 000 since December 21. Most applicants are from Mexico and Central America, many via family sponsorship, and processing may take 18 months to two years due to staffing limits.
