Children of H-1B visa holders may now age out of their protected legal status while their parents apply for green cards, under a Trump administration policy change announced Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it was reversing a Biden administration policy that prevented young adults from losing their legal status if a parent's application was still pending when their children reached age 21.

With long wait times for adjustment of status applications, particularly for H-1B and other temporary visa holders, this could now mean that around 200,000 children and young adults of H1B visa holders will lose their legal status and may have to leave the U.S., even if they have lived in the country for most or all of their lives.
