Section 1: Short Title
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Ensuring Security for Military Spouses Act’’.
SECTION 2. NO STATE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR SPOUSES OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES SERVING ON ACTIVE DUTY AT A LOCATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Section 319 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1430) is amended by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(f) In the case of a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States who is the spouse of a member of the Armed Forces serving on active duty at a location in the United States, the requirement under subsection (a) of this section and under section 316(a) that a person have resided within the State or the Service district in the United States in which the applicant filed his application for at least three months shall not apply.’’’
This amendment relaxes the 3-month state residency requirement for spouses of military personnel serving on active duty in the United States.
