The Challenge Facing Documented Dreamers
The generation of foreigners who don’t want to turn 21
Although it should be a memorable event, there is a community of foreigners who do not celebrate turning 21 in the US. We are talking about the so-called Documented Dreamers.
This term refers to young foreigners who have had the opportunity to live in the US for a considerable period of time, often for as long as they can remember, thanks to the sponsorship and protection of their parents, who are usually employment visa holders.
However, when Documented Dreamers turn 21, they are no longer eligible to receive parental sponsorship and, unless they choose another legal immigration route, they would have to leave the US, even if they have already built their lives in this North American country.

Why are Documented Dreamers in limbo?
Documented Dreamers currently face a gigantic challenge because they have only a few alternatives to obtain documentation after turning 21.
In fact, Documented Dreamers:
- Must face long waiting times resulting from the alarming backlog of immigration cases across the US.
- Even if they submit their Green Card applications well in advance, there is still a high probability that they will not receive a response to their requests before they turn 21 and are thus left in limbo.
- Have the possibility to apply for a student visa, but waiting times are also quite high.

Actions are already underway to protect Documented Dreamers
Naturally, the plight of Documented Dreamers attracts the attention of political leaders and immigrant rights advocates, especially because they are young people who have long resided in the US and are already an essential part of the local culture.
As a result, several leaders have recently proposed different courses of action to provide a permanent solution for Documented Dreamers.
Let’s look at some important facts:
- Several Senators recently introduced a bill proposing to open a path to citizenship for Documented Dreamers.
- In August, more than 20 lawmakers sent a letter to Congressional leaders, asking them to support the proposal to open a path to citizenship for this immigrant community.
- In mid-year, several lawmakers sent a letter to the current secretary of DHS (Department of Homeland Security), asking him to offer permanent protection to Documented Dreamers.
