Dream Act: How Dreamers, DACA Holders, and H-1B children could get a US green card

The Dream Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Senators Richard Durbin and Lisa Murkowski on December 4, 2025, aims to allow Dreamers to seek legal status and protection from deportation, and if they meet certain requirements, obtain a green card. The Dream Act implementation can help children of H-1B holders, Dreamers, and DACA participants who expect to receive a US green card.

Dream Act 2025 proposals could allow nearly 525,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, as well as another two million eligible Dreamers brought to America as children, to stay in the U.S. The bill could also allow 250,000 documented Dreamers to stay in the U.S. and obtain permanent legal status.
