5 Years cmon on Seriously!

Why do dreamers have to wait 5 years we've been waiting over a decade for this too pass. Whats your opinion ?

seeing how i've been waiting since 2001 for a visa, waiting 5 yrs as opposed to 13, is not a problem for me.

we'll still be able to work and more importantly TRAVEL OUT OF THE US.

True but if you want to get a job that requires residency such as police officer firefighter etc... it wont help

true, but there are plenty of good and even great jobs that dont require residency.

well, the original Dream Act Bill had the same thing 5 years, before green card, did you have a problem with that as well?

No i did not but i would think if we were given daca it would have made the process faster why not give us residency and make us wait 5 yrs for citizenship cmon now..

yeah it sucks but oh well man I like it, I personally dont have any intentions of getting any government/state job , with this is faster, 5 years of this and we even apply for citizenship after it

I am ok waiting 5 years, as long as I am legal, better than to be stuck in limbo. 5 years is really nothing, I already waited 14 years...I don't even know why you or other people complain about it, as if they are making this hard for you. If anything they are helping you and giving you a chance to prove yourself. Take what you can right now before it stretches again for who knows how long. There is a saying that you just have to quit while you are ahead. Right now I feel CIR is ahead of the curve.

This reminds me of an old TV show with the suitcase, with a person exchanging suitcases until they feel they got the $1 mil dollar, people cant be too greedy of they end up screwing themselves.

OP also mentioned being a permanent resident to apply for certain federal jobs. In all seriousness if you wait 5 years I am sure you will still be able to do it.

Damn people really need to start reading things properly. Dreamers are not waiting for shit. They will get green cards in 5 years and they will be eligible to become CITIZENS IMMEDIATELY. They are pretty much giving us conditional permanent residency. Anyway we still don't know the details. We'll have to wait until the official text comes out.

It's the same being a permanent resident; 5 years, and the years counts toward citizenship. The reason it's titled CPR, "conditional", is so we can't petition relatives etc. during that 5 year period.
