Summary

Family Reunification Act of 2001 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to revise the conditions under which the Attorney General may cancel the removal of certain aliens from the United States, including cancellation of removal for humanitarian or public benefit reasons for certain aliens convicted of aggravated felonies. Authorizes the Attorney General to release such an alien pending the removal decision. Revises conditions for termination of continuous physical presence or residence periods. Permits certain permanent resident aliens: (1) whether physically present in the United States or not, to request administrative relief in exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings; and (2) to return to the United States without seeking admission.(Eliminates certain conviction-related restrictions on such return.) Directs the Attorney General to establish processes for discretionary waiver of inadmissibility or deportation for certain aliens who would otherwise be subject to exclusion or deportation.
