America’s CHILDREN Act of 2025

This bill creates a pathway to permanent residency for certain college graduates who entered the U.S. as children under specific nonimmigrant visa categories (excluding H-1B, L-1, etc.). To qualify, applicants must have been lawfully present for 10 years total (including 8 years as a dependent child), graduated from a U.S. college, and not be inadmissible. It also changes how "child status" is determined for immigration purposes - using specific dates instead of age to prevent "age-outs" for dependents of long-term visa holders - and preserves priority dates for family members. These changes apply to individuals who entered the U.S. before age 21 and maintained lawful status under qualifying visas.
