Documented Dreamers: Aging Out of the US Immigration System

Описание: Documented dreamers are individuals who came to the US legally as children, but who risk losing their immigration status when they turn 21.

Join this conversation to learn more about which children may qualify for relief available under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), what other visa options are available to documented dreamers (such as F-1 and H-1B visas), how to get sponsored on a family-based green card after aging out, how to avoid common issues related to changing status, and more.
