Thousands of children of legal immigrants, including many Indo-Americans, are at risk of deportation from the United States upon turning 21, despite living in the country for decades. This issue, known as ‘aging out’, affects nearly 250,000 children who came to the US with their parents on temporary work visas. They lose their dependent status and face deportation, as US immigration laws require children to leave the country if their parents haven’t secured permanent residency by the time they turn 21. This situation has sparked bipartisan concern, with lawmakers and the White House urging action to protect these ‘Documented Dreamers’.

Instead, Harry may hold an A-1 diplomatic visa or O-1 Extraordinary Ability or Achievement visa, which allow him to maintain temporary US immigration status indefinitely without becoming a permanent resident or US citizen.
The Supreme Court will consider a case involving a Los Angeles man, Luis Acensio Cordero, who was denied a green card and separated from his US citizen wife, Sandra Muñoz, since 2015. The couple alleges that the federal government violated Muñoz’s constitutional right to marriage and due process by not providing an explanation for the visa denial. The government claims Muñoz and Acensio could live outside the US, and therefore her marriage rights have not been violated. The court will determine whether denying a visa to a noncitizen spouse of a US citizen infringes upon constitutional rights and if notifying the applicant of inadmissibility is sufficient due process.
