New Dream Act - Page 2

I don't think it does unless it was a felony offense or stacked up to three misdemeanors altogether.

* Expands the applicable grounds of deportability to include public charge, unlawful voting, and marriage fraud grounds

I'm also curious about this. Does it mean that we have to wait 1 year to apply?
I read the bill and what I understood from it was that you had 1 year to apply from certain conditions:

Is the Retroactive Provision in there?

Read the bill, honey.

And yes it is.

The last two are self explanatory.

Indeed Gareki, I believe it was an error in the original post. The bill states that clearly at the bottom of page 6, top of page 7 in the pdf that you cannot apply after 1 year when the bill is enacted.

If you seriously got caught with Marijuana you shouldn't be applicable. It was your option to do that stuff and you should be held responsible for that.

This is what it says about applying:

(4) DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION.—An alien shall submit an application for cancellation of removal and conditional nonimmigrant status under this subsection no later than the date that is 1 year after the later of—
4 (A) the date the alien was admitted to an
5 institution of higher education in the United
6 States;
7 (B) the date the alien earned a high school
8 diploma or obtained a general education devel9
opment certificate in the United States; or
10 (C) the date of the enactment of this Act.

I thought it meant you only have a year to apply then the chance is gone.
