Undocumented people living in America who are married to a U.S. citizen now have a pathway to citizenship.

President Biden announced a new program that will allow immigrants to apply for status and remain in the country and work for a period of up to three years while their case is being handled.

Now, in the past, spouses has had to leave the country until their case was resolved, which could take years to be eligible for this program.

The spouse has to have lived in the country and have been married for at least ten years.

This program rolled out by the president as a family unification effort while also protect the children of an undocumented immigrant married to a U.S. citizen.

They are also eligible to apply for permanent residence without leaving the country.

Now, Biden also announced he's making it easier for DACA recipients and Dreamers to work here.

Those are the young people brought to the U.S. when they were very young.

They'll be granted work visas more quickly if they've earned a higher ed degree here in the U.S. and have a job offer from a U.S. employer that's related to their degree.
