US Lawmakers Renew Bills to Expand Green Card Pathways for Long-Term Immigrants
US lawmakers have renewed efforts to pass immigration bills offering pathways to permanent residency for millions, including Dreamers, TPS and DED holders, and H-1B visa holders facing long backlogs. Senator Alex Padilla's bill proposes updating the 1929 Registry provision to allow immigrants residing continuously for seven years to apply for green cards if eligible. Meanwhile, the American Dream and Promise Act seeks to provide permanent residency for certain childhood arrivals and protected status holders. Both proposals remain bills requiring House and Senate approval before becoming law.
