I hope DA passes in its current form. A whole lot of will be able to file it, get CPR, and immediately file for removal of conditions.

Since when is Pence a part of these talks?

can u clarify this? so what if we already satisfied the education and employment requirement? do we get to apply for permanent residency and skip the conditional part?

Since he realized he's probably gonna be POTUS next year

So is Pence going to order Congress to add DA to funding bill?

Jesus Freak Pence and Mitch "the turtle" McConnell

And he's probably hanging around the Senate in case they need his tie-breaking vote.

I asked @GOPLeader if he thinks DACA needs to get done this month “I don’t think the solution for DACA -- I don’t see it out there right now. So I don’t see how you would get it done this month … DACA’s timeline is further out in March, you still have time to solve that problem"

@jakesherman

Kevin McCarthy is a dumbass man.

Under the current text the maximum period of conditional permanent residency is 10 years. Initial grant of 5 years, and then an extension for 5 years if you need it. They give you a lot of time to get the requirements done.

There is no minimum time requirement to file for removal of conditions in this case, and as with any other removal of conditions your time as a CPR counts for naturalization purposes. So for those of us who already qualify the process would look like this.

Apply for conditional permanent residency -> (wait however long to be approved, get an EAD in the meantime) -> Get conditional Green Card valid for 5 years -> File for removal of conditions right off the bat -> (wait however long it takes them to approve that) -> (5 years (or 3 if you're married to a USC) from your Resident Since Date - 90 days) - file N-400 for naturalization.



I don't think Pence can order congress to do anything. VP is a weird somewhat ceremonial role that can break ties, usually in favor since a tied measure fails absent a tiebreaker.
