introduced in the House by Congressman Curbelo and 10 other
Republicans. The proposed legislation would grant Conditional Legal
Permanent Residence (CLPR) to certain Dreamers for a 5 year period, after which
they could file to remove the "condition" and be granted full Legal
Permanent Residence. They apply for Citizenship after . Application
would be open to Dreamers who entered the U.S. before January 1, 2012 and was
under the age of 16 upon entry. The basic requirement to be eligible to
apply is have attained a high school diploma or a GED or is enrolled in an
institution of higher learning or a been granted and is a holder of a employment
authorization document (EAD), the card that most Dreamers possess. The

1182 (a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (6)(E), (8), (10) (A), (10) (C) and
(10) (D) or inadmissible on grounds under 8 USC 1227(a) (1)(E), (1)(G),
(2), (4), (5) or (6). To understand what these prohibitions are about,
Google 8 USC 1182 (a) or 8 USC 1227. The applicant must not have been

5 years. The holder of a CLPR shall be eligible to apply for LPR after
the first 5 year period. A CLPR status person may enlist in the
