- Children of foreign nationals who came to America on work visa should be given PR if they have lived for 10 years: Demand of American MPs

Washington: A group of MPs has presented a bill before the American Congress to grant permanent residency to the Children of foreign nationals who came to America on work visas. The bill demands that instead of deporting them after 21 years, the government should grant them legal status and protect them.

There are countless foreign nationals living in America as Documented Dreamers. He has a long-term US visa, but no PR. These are citizens who came to the US on a work visa and have not been granted permanent residency. These foreign nationals have been waiting for years to get PR. Their children can study in American schools and colleges and stay up to 21 years, but if they do not get a work visa or PR by 21 years, they are sent to their own country.

A group of MPs has put a bill in front of the American Congress to prevent that situation from happening. The bill demands that children of documented Dreamers get PR in America. This benefit should be given to those who have been living on the dependent visa for 10 years or more. It has been recommended to give PR to children of workers who came to America with employer visa. They should be protected under the Children Act. According to an estimate, there are about 250,000 children of Documented Dreamers living in America. These children, who have studied in American universities and institutes, have been demanded to be given permanent residence permits. Among these documented Dreamers who came to America on work visas, the number of Indians is very large. If the bill is passed, the children of citizens of Indian origin will get the benefit.

The MPs said that the current law in America robs such children of their future. They are ordered to be deported after years. As a result, he has to leave America, the country where he spent his childhood, and has to go to his own country and struggle anew. The bill has been introduced in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
