Dreamer RPI instead of actual green card ...

DA User · 04-17-2013, 05:35 PM

If a Dreamer has a 4 years Bachelors already than the Dreamer will get GC now instead of RPI?

Those who have already completed at least 2 years of college education towards a bachelor's degree or higher degree, will still have to wait the 5 ½ years in order to apply for Legal Permanent Residency even though you may have already obtained a degree.

its the same thing with this New CIR, even if you have 4 or 6. it won't make the process any faster, you still have to wait 5 years

Which section?

basically

Quote:

(i) has been a registered provisional immigrant for at least 5 years;

Quote:

‘(i) I
N GENERAL
.—The Secretary
12
may adjust the status of a registered provi-
13
sional immigrant to the status of a lawful
14
permanent resident if the alien—
15
‘‘(I) satisfies the requirements
16
under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) of
17
subparagraph (A); and

so even if you already have 3 years towards a bachelors, you STILL have to wait 5 years as its a requirement

They're making all these new categories just to satisfy the 'no amnesty' crowd who are just a tiny minority of even the Republican party. Why are Senators like Rubio trying to appease these people?

In bold is exactly what it is.Most benefits and/or social services are usually associated with either specific non-immigrant visas such as T or U and are likely available with Immigrant visas.They are etching out this new unknown category simply because the status is undefined at the State and Federal level.I think USCIS is definitely going need more than 6 months of interpretation to see how this affects issues like benefits and social services.

RPI is defined as a "Legal Status" but for the purpose of what it was designed seems to be a No-benefit Non-Immigrant Visa!
