Senate Bill Text Released - Page 38

I meant the courts. They can change laws if it's a violation of the Constitution.

yes, unless the bill itself has something like

"the content so of this bill shall not be considered for subject under clause this and subjection this of the constitution"

I am pretty sure its there but worded differently

The RPI status is in clear violation of the US constitution's equal protection clause and considering the amount of pro-immigrant groups that don't like the long path to citizenship as is it will be challenged if this iteration passes the Congress.

It is not clear if RPI is an immigrant or non-immigrant status.What this bill seems to suggest is that RPI functions like an Immigrant visa for Dreamers and as a non-immigrant visa for the rest of the undocumented population.Only an Immigrant status can count towards Naturalization and there is plenty of Federal court precedent concerning what are the requirements of meeting US citizenship eligibility.RPI would either be thrown out as a status[not likely] OR the Courts would more than likely indicate that it counts towards Naturalization just like it does for Dreamers.

If successfully challenged,US naturalization could be immediately filed after the security metrics are in place just after approval for Residence for the general undocumented.

It makes no sense trying to pass an immigration legislation to replace the current system if it cannot withstand court precedent.

so people can start applying 180 days after president Obama signs the bill, and we are getting grandfathered so would our status with DACA count towards the 5 years we have to wait for to get a GC?

What about an undocumented claiming as a US Citizen in the I-9 form in the past?

Apparently yes.

I got a question. didn't see it in the bill, the bill said those who are being sponsored by relative will have their priorities updated, is there a cut off date like December 2011 for others?

Now, my uncle is USC, and is sponsoring my dad, but the thing is, he only started last year. Would he be qualify or no.

Also, my mom came here for 15/16 years, but she have no evidence whatsoever (everything is under my dad's name) aside from the renewal passport we did in 07 or so.

Thank you.

thanks Morrow

anyways another question.

Would we be eligible to join the military right after president Obama signs the bill or 180 days after he signs it?
(a few weeks give or take for our status to upgrade in the system?)

This bill seems to forgive that if the claim was made when they were under the age of 18 or lacked the mental capacity to understand what that means.

hmmmmmm

DREAMers will be somewhat dismayed when they realize that RPI is just a different name for a sheet of paper like I-821D's approval and perhaps a bit happy that their EADs will not have the travel restriction at the bottom.
