There are children in the DALCA group who came to America with their parents at a young age and were living here, but now after becoming adults, they have been instructed to return to their country. The problem is that now they are young and because of this they cannot live in America on the visa of their parents. At present, there are two lakh such Indians in America, most of them are American. Invited to the Diwali celebration at the White House, Deep Patel is the founder of the Improve the Dream organization. This organization is a campaign for children who have grown up as children of long-time visa holders, but due to old age facing extradition. By inviting the youth of the DALCA group to the Diwali celebrations, the US President has indicated that he too has an eye on the problems of these children.
