We have had some exciting news lately regarding Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Both President +Obama and the ‘Gang of Eight’ bipartisan senators have released their plans for reform. So far, these are only a set of principles or plans and none of this is law or policy just yet. Both plans have similarities and some very key differences as well. Here is a comparison of the Obama and Bipartisan Senators’ Plan on a path to citizenship:
Path to Citizenship: Under Obama’s plan, eligible undocumented immigrants, DREAMers, and agricultural workers follow the same path. They would qualify for and obtain temporary status, go to the back of the visa wait list, and then obtain their permanent residency. The Senators’ Plan would have a separate line for both DREAMers and Agricultural Workers.
At Brandt immigration we have over 25 years combined experience successfully representing immigrants and are prepared for comprehensive immigration reform in 2013.
