On June 18, 2024, President Biden announced a new policy aimed at assisting DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants who have graduated from U.S. colleges. This policy introduces a streamlined process for obtaining employment-based nonimmigrant visas, significantly improving access to legal status and work opportunities.

Program Overview:

  • Eligibility:
    • Current DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants who have graduated from a U.S. college.
    • Must have received a job offer in their field.

Benefits:

  • Streamlined Visa Process:
    • Allows eligible individuals to apply for nonimmigrant work visas (such as H-1B or O visas) more easily.
    • Bypasses the 10-year reentry bar imposed by a 1996 law, which affects those who leave the U.S. to obtain a visa.

The Problem Being Addressed:

  • Undocumented college graduates and DACA recipients face significant barriers when seeking employment-based visas. Current laws require these individuals to leave the U.S. to obtain a visa, triggering a 10-year reentry bar if they have been unlawfully present for more than one year. This makes the process risky and uncertain.

The Solution: Streamlined Employment-Based Visas:

  • The Biden administration’s new policy directs the State Department to update its guidance on the issuance of “212(d)(3)” waivers. These waivers allow eligible individuals to obtain work visas without facing the 10-year reentry bar.
  • The streamlined process will be available to those who have received a job offer in their field, removing obstacles to a more stable immigration status.

Impact on Individuals:

  • The American Immigration Council estimates that over 400,000 undocumented students are enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. This new policy provides a realistic path to legal employment for many of these individuals, enhancing their ability to contribute to the U.S. economy and society.

How to Apply:

  • Detailed guidelines will be published in an upcoming Federal Register notice. Applicants will need to submit forms, provide supporting documentation, and pay a fee.
