Obama seeks faster waiver for immigrant families under proposed rule
The Obama administration proposed a rule allowing spouses and children of citizens to seek a waiver before leaving the United States to apply for visas.

Critics call it backdoor amnesty while supporters see it as reducing bureaucratic delays that keep families apart.
