### Description

This document is a correcting amendment to an interim final rule (IFR) published on September 9, 2026, by the Department of Homeland Security. The IFR amends regulations to allow children born in the United States to foreign government employees who are not U.S. citizens to register for permanent residence. It also updates related forms, including Form I-485 and Form G-325R. The correction restores regulatory language that was unintentionally removed in the original IFR and includes conforming edits to evidentiary requirements and application procedures.
