The Real ID Act changes asylum, refugee, and relief from removal provisions; creates new grounds of inadmissibility and removability pertaining to terrorism; and requires states to comply with certain driver's license and identification card standards. ©MurthyDotCom We previously addressed the relief for nurses and physical therapists in the article cited above.
