4th and Current Version of DREAM Act Narrows Eligibility
 

The fourth and current version of the DREAM Act (S. 3992) was submitted on Monday, and has many wondering how this latest version (created in an attempt to persuade Republican legislators to vote in its favor) differs from its predecessors.
One main difference is the eligibility age. The previous bill had the age of those that could benefit set at 35, but S. 3992 lowers the age to 30, meaning that if a person brought to this country as a child meets all other requirements, they have until they are (now) 30 to begin the legal process to citizenship.

How is this news? We know this.

BTW- the article says that after the GC we only have to wait 3 years to apply for citizenship..Its actually 5 years to citizenship.

No you are wrong it's 3 years for Dreamers if this thing passes , we get an special break.

:O Ohh okay

Re: 4th and Current Version of DREAM Act Narrows Eligibility
 

Yeah, people are over reacting with the 10 year thing. It really is no difference as far as waiting goes.

Old one

6 years conditional plus 5 years legal = 11 years

Current one

10 years conditional 3 years legal = 13 years

You're wrong, under the old one the conditional PR for 6 years would have counted towards naturalization.

I am wondering how the waiting time counted? If you've been here 10 years already, does it mean you have to wait another 10 years be a permanent resident?
