Under President Obama's administration, the path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants has widened due to the young adult non-deportation policy. Over 250,000 formerly illegal immigrants have been approved for legal status (99.5% of applications). This is expected to decline, however, as "questionable cases are put on the back end in order to [make sure] the more deserving candidates" get through.
