In addition to this, House has no limit on the 35 years of age.

if that is right.... then according to 5(d)(1)(D), I am covered under the retroactive regardless of the lowering of the age cap... and technically if people have been here and gone through school on schedule, it could be lowered as much as 25 and without screwing up the chances for the people that would complete the college requirement ideally by around age 21 (18-19 graduate from high school 21 should complete at least 2 years of college). But here is the thing, our situation is such that there would be a lot of potential beneficiaries lost through no fault of their own because they have to take a limited number of credit hours to make their education affordable or postpone the education to make the money, or just avoid the education and start working to provide for their families.

I am still against lowering the age cap for those reasons, it would fault a lot of people for what I think its unreasonable.

I just can't believe I never noticed that the retroactive benefits exclude the age cap...

It would be nicer if there was a better benefit for someone who has a 4 year degree already.

the age limit is just an excuse not to vote for it. i find the limit to be a treason to the movement and if we think 35 is ok, then bring it to 18. in both cases they are adults that are responsible for themselves.

I'm really scared about the age limit because it'll probably be something that'll exclude a whole swath of us from the legislation.

The border will never be secure, but they keep throwing money at it. People can over stay visas, for Christ's sakes

Again, if you have earned a 2 years degree/gone to college for 2 years, the age limit doesn't apply to you thanks to the retroactive provision

wrong. the retroactive provision means that as long as you are under 35, and you have obtained a 2 year degree prior to DA being passed, you can still adjust status. you still have to be under 35 to qualify for the retroactive provision. simple english.

I suggest you read the retroactive provision again Read it very carefully this time around.
