Green Card Path for Children Who Grew Up in the U.S. on Parent's Work Visas.
This law creates a direct path to permanent residency for thousands of young adults who legally grew up in the U.S. as dependents of long-term work visa holders. It prevents these individuals, often called "Documented Dreamers," from losing their legal status when they turn 21 due to immigration backlogs. The changes also allow these dependents to work legally and retain their status even if they marry.
Key points
Allows college graduates who lived legally in the U.S. for at least 10 years as dependents of nonimmigrant workers to apply directly for a Green Card.
Protects children from "aging out" (losing dependent status at age 21) by freezing their age based on when their parent's initial immigration petition was filed.
Grants work authorization and allows long-term dependents to maintain their status regardless of marital status.
