DACA Recipients May Have Expedited Residency Status on Senate Bill.

Okay, reading s744 (The Senate's immigration bill) I came across this:
" ‘(C) DACA RECIPIENTS- The Secretary may adopt streamlined procedures for applicants for adjustment to lawful permanent resident status under this section who were granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (referred to in this paragraph as ‘DACA’) pursuant to the Secretary’s memorandum of June 15, 2012..."

This implies that we are probably not going to have to wait 5 years like the Dreamers without DACA.

Everyone already knew this.. You're a little late my friend

I believe it's 5 years conditional residency then green card followed by citizenship right away

"lawful permanent resident status"... Not conditional status.

The 5 year conditional status is for those who didn't get DACA, but still qualify for original Dream Act...

so (when bill passes) with DACA approval....we'd be good for 5 years then apply for GC?

By reading the bill. I believe DACA recipients will receive permanent residency, instead of conditional residency like the other dreamers.

Clarification: DACA Recipients and other DREAMers will get RPI (Registered Provisional Immigrant) status for 5 years then they may apply for permanent residence (and citizenship thereafter)

The Streamlined procedures for DACA Recipients has yet to be adopted since the bureau and Secretary are still non-existant.

Yes, they do not exist yet, but that specific clause for DACA. Points out that we may have an easier path, otherwise DACA would not be mentioned at all in the bill.

Interesting


Lets be real for a second, do you really think the house is gonna do the right thing for the people and pass this bill? Tisk tisk...

They better, or else. I wants what's coming to me!
