Anyway, whatever we can get, I guess we should take it...as long it is reasonable.

Although, I think it should be a renewable status that allows us to travel internationally though without restrictions...hopefully...

Honestly, I am grateful that there still seems to be talks to get something done...because after Democrats folded after the shutdown, and then said that a Dreamer fix is no longer needed for budget negotiations, I figured that was a clear sign that the momentum is dead.
