The America’s CHILDREN Act of 2025, also known as the Protecting Children of Long-Term Visa Holders Act of 2025, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to offer lawful permanent resident status to specific college graduates who entered the United States as children. This status is granted to those who were in the U.S. as dependent children of nonimmigrants for at least eight years before turning 21 and have graduated from a U.S. institution of higher education. The bill also allows these individuals to file a petition for classification as lawful permanent residents.
