Documented Dreamers: Aging Out of the US Immigration System

Documented Dreamers: Aging Out Of The Us Immigration System

Many children who came to the US legally – often as dependents on their parents’ temporary work visas – risk aging out of the US immigration system when they turn 21. Often, these individuals are either left waiting in the green card backlog, or they do not have a clear path to permanent residency.

During this live session, Partner and Attorney Diya Mathews and Business Development and Outreach Manager Neha Mahajan discuss options available for these documented dreamers, including:

• Relief under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA).
• Changing status to F-1 and H-1B visas.
• Getting a family-based green card after aging out.
• Avoiding common pitfalls when changing status.
• And more.
