The America’s CHILDREN Act of 2025 aims to grant lawful permanent resident status to certain college graduates who entered the U.S. as children.

The America’s CHILDREN Act of 2025 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to authorize lawful permanent resident status for college graduates who entered the U.S. as children. It establishes that the priority date for an individual is the date on which a petition is filed, unless preceded by a labor certification. It also provides for age-out protections and priority date retention for certain nonimmigrant dependents. The bill exempts individuals granted relief from numerical limitations and allows certain dependents to change or extend their status as dependent children.
