US Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on a $1.1tn (£701.6bn) spending bill ahead of a looming Thursday evening deadline.
A consensus would prevent a government shutdown and fund the federal government until September 2015.
The bill was agreed by congressional leaders and is expected to be passed by Congress this week.
But there are disagreements over immigration-related funds requested by President Barack Obama.
But additional cash requested to bolster US border security, issued by Mr Obama through a controversial executive action last month, remains in the balance.
Republicans - who gained control of both chambers of Congress in November's pivotal mid-term elections - may put spending for the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for immigration oversight, on a shorter timeframe until conservatives formally take the reins next month.
The package must be approved before a spending deadline on Thursday.
The bill is expected to include funding requested by Mr Obama to fight the spread of Ebola in West Africa.
