Is the actual bill out yet

What I don't get is that we will have To wait until 2018 to get RPI or as soon as it passes ....bc I want to enlist asap & this would have to make me wait 5 more yrs ...I wanna see how that other bill is going to be like

It could longer. Look at the health reform its been years and most of its key elements don't take action until this year and the years to do for follow


Just because it passes and is enacted doesn't mean right away

True, true, but hopefully if CIR passes DREAMers will be a more immediate thing, given that many of us are already under DACA, I imagine the process would be quicker, no?

No that is absolutely ridiculous. We wouldn't have to wait for 5 years. I'm pretty sure the time frame will be very similar to DACA. This is an urgent issue. The rest of the parts of the bill will take time to implement but I think the initial RPI status won't take too long. I would say about 5 months for set up and another 5 months for approval. The entire process towards citizenship will be faster for Dreamers. Lets not get confused with the language.

It would nice that daca approved people automatically approved for this. They could just upgrade our status and send us CPR cards

One can only dream

so dream act kids get green card instantly? or they have to wait 5 year then get GC and citizenship.. I am confused

That's what we don't know yet. One theory is first we get a conditional GC, after 5 years full GC and immediately able to apply for citizenship

That would be heaven

it seems they are using terms like instantly and immediately but I think they are using these terms just to compare how much faster the process will be for us. If you think about it, the other path is 10 years, plus w/e number of years it takes to say the border is secured, then 3 or 5 years after that for citizenship, so it could take as much as 20 years and is what experts are saying it will take for citizenship. While for dreamers, the process should take less than 5, CPR, GR, then 3 years, citizenship, we don't need border secure approval for our status to change. We will see how it is when it comes out today
