Legal Immigration Family Equity Act

The Legal Immigration Family Equity Act of 2000, also known as the LIFE Act and as the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act, along with its Amendments, made some changes to laws surrounding immigration for family members of United States citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents, as well as people eligible for employment-based immigrant visas, in the direction of making it easier for family members and immigrant workers to move to and adjust status within the United States.[1][2] It was passed on December 21, 2000, as title XI of Pub. L. 106–553 (text) (PDF).[3]
