About 25 illegal immigrants who have lived in legal limbo for years after losing relatives in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will be able to apply for legal status without fearing deportation, officials said.
The immigrants whose spouses or parents died in the attacks have gotten payments averaging $2.1 million from the federal Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund, but have had trouble investing the proceeds because they were in the country illegally, their lawyers say.”*
