@AttyStevenBrown Either Trump will fix #gcbacklog or kick all of us out. Either way the AILA leeches will loose their livelihood. Remember they were the ones who always opposed #eagleact ! #AbolishAILA
Every single day, dozens like Tanuj are actively facing leaving the country despite growing up in the U.S. with lawful status.
10,000 face the same fate every year.
Who does this benefit?
Time to #ImproveTheDream.
“A lot of people thought turning 21 was when they got their sense of freedom, for me it was when I lost my sense of freedom.”- Tanuj

The point of judicial review prior to a court ruling on the validity of a challenged statute of law makes sense for someone who is undocumented.
How does it make sense for someone who has never been undocumented?
Clearly, that cannot be the intent of Congress.
A federal court’s wild interpretation of “relief” in the Real ID Act will have severe repercussions for any attempt by a legal immigrant to challenge the government’s interpretation of AOS statutes in federal courts.
Never thought breaking the law would be a requirement.
“And, ‘[w]e normally do not require plaintiffs to ‘bet the farm’ . . . by taking the violative action before testing the validity of the law, and we do not consider this a meaningful avenue of relief.’”
This regulation has been slated for publication since 2022. It includes an important regulatory update that can help some children of long term visa holders who age out.
Unfortunately, @DHSgov has delayed action. If they don’t publish this proposed rule soon, it is at risk of not being finalized during this administration.
Earlier this summer, a bipartisan, bicameral group led by @RepDeborahRoss, @SenAlexPadilla, and @RepMMM sent a letter to @DHSgov and @USCIS on specific actions that can provide some relief to children of long term visa holders.
Many of these actions are possible to do this year.
Previously, @SecMayorkas testified that he understands the predicament that children of long term visa holders face and would follow up with vigilance on actions that are possible.
This regulation has been awaiting DHS publication for over a year and can help many individuals.
We appreciate @RepJayapal leading a bipartisan group urging @DHSgov and @USCIS for immediate publication of the proposed AOS regulation, which includes compelling circumstances EAD for some children of long term visa holders who age out.
When no one else would lift a finger to help backlogged immigrants maintain their H4-EAD, Immigration Voice acted to fight the good fight. Today, the D.C. Circuit said we were right to do so and affirmed the legality of the #H4EAD program. Thank you - Sudarshana Sengupta and Anuj Dhamija for leading this effort to help an estimated half a million families stuck in the backlog. We are deeply grateful to our attorney Carl Goldfarb and the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP for helping immigrant families to work and support their families while waiting for over 170 years of employment-based green card backlog. https://t.co/KB7W5y7RMr
Tens of thousands of people who grew up in this country as dependents on a parents' work visas "age out" every year when they turn 21. That's not how the system was supposed to work. But growing delays mean some parents must wait decades for a green card—forcing their kids out.
Thousands of talented young people like Dwarkesh, who have been raised and educated in the United States with lawful status are being faced with leaving the country.
Thousands leave every year.
Kicking us out only hurts America. Time to pass America’s Children Act.
Over 10,000 children of long term visa holders face aging out and self deportation every year.
We need to pass America’s Children Act, which is the most bipartisan immigration bill in Congress.
.@SecMayorkas testified he cares about children of long term visa holders and will follow up vigilantly.
Meanwhile, @DHSgov has put a key proposed rule at risk by delaying it for over a year: https://t.co/pSOZa4O32p
They must publish it immediately for a final rule this year.
