Who will get relief?

The executive order will affect around 4.9 million undocumented immigrants, including the some 4.1 million immigrants whose children already have legal status. Obama will also expand a program for undocumented immigrants who came here as children. If each of these individuals apply and are accepted into the executive action program, they will be temporarily sheltered from deportation and become eligible to work.

Representing the largest group affected are the 4.1 million parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. To qualify, these individuals must have been in the country for at least five years and cannot have criminal records.

The executive action will also remove the upper age limits of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which has thus far conferred temporary deportation reprieve and work authorization to about 600,000 undocumented immigrants between the ages of 15 and 31. Individuals who apply under the expanded deferred action program must have come into the United States before the age of 16 and must have arrived before January 2010. This category would likely affect 300,000 immigrants.

Recipients of the DACA program and its expansion would qualify for three-year renewals, instead of the current two-year expiration date for DACA recipients. Current DACA recipients would also be eligible for three-year renewals.

How about the one who came in USA around 5 years back, completed bachelors degree, didn't make it through H1b and currently working on CPT? Anything for the on who came here legally?

we do not have enough specifics on requirements, yet and will have to wait till the second memorandum from Obama comes in. It looks like a lot of thing are going to chance with H1B and pre registration for H1B and employment based immigration, as well. It is likely to be through regulations though!

Obama's plan will benefit only those whose children are born here or who has children who holds legal status like green card. when it comes to Nepali I think the case is rare coz we know Mexicans are the ones in huge amount.


The plan does not include any relief for parents of young undocumented immigrants who received protected status under Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals plan, nor does it help childless undocumented immigrants who have been in the country for long periods of time.
