We updated how we calculate the age of child beneficiaries for immigrant visas under the Child Status Protection Act. This will prevent some child beneficiaries from aging out of child status & allow them to adjust status with their parents. More info at:

Another Documented Dreamer will need to self-deport due to a restrictive interpretation of CSPA by the administration. This student's particular situation is completely preventable through a simple policy change from @DHSgov , @USCISDirector . They must act now.

@PabloReports @POTUS @RepDeborahRoss @SenAlexPadilla @USCISDirector @SecMayorkas @ImproveTheDream My son's I-485 application to become LPR (Green Card) is denied. The reason is that we lived here legally since 2006 and my COB is India. We waited in the backlog since 2011

"Dream denied: Children of work visa immigrants face deportation at 21."

Dream denied: Children of work visa immigrants face deportation at 21 under U.S. policy

They arrived to the US as children with their parents who held work visas. At 21, they age out of their parents' visa protection and face deportation.

The biggest brain drain of the United States is caused by forcing talented people who are educated in the country to leave after completion of their studies, which includes thousands of young people who were also raised here. It is time to pass America’s Children Act.

We joined Wisconsin State lawmakers, who led a bipartisan letter to the Wisconsin Congressional delegation in support of the bipartisan America’s Children Act. Communities across America are losing American raised and educated young people every day. The time for action is now.

Our families brought us to the United States with the hope that they are able to provide a better life and more opportunities for their children. Even without change that recognizes us as such, we are Americans and this will be our home. Happy Independence Day! #Happy4thofJuly

New proposed DACA rule continues to exclude children who were in a lawful immigration status on June 15, 2012. Documented Dreamers have no work authorization while growing up and no protection from deportation after aging out. @DHSgov must change this.
