Hi,

My DACA application recently got approved and I have never been happier. Although I later found out that I cannot even accept the green card sponsorship from my employer, I am still in a much better position than before so I am definitely grateful.

Now I am worried about my little brother who is in the same situation as me. He is currently in high school, but will be going to college in three years. He can certainly apply for DACA, but I do not want him to be stuck with it in the sense that he cannot get permanent status through other methods. I had read something online about once an individual turns 18 years old, they can go back to their country of origin within a certain time frame and adjust their status, but I can't find any other information about it. I feel like that would be the best thing for him to do, but I also do not know how long that process is going to take. At this point, I just want to know what his options are, and am hoping that someone can give me good advice. I am definitely going to see an immigration attorney for him, but I want to be a little prepared so I know what questions to ask.

We also came to the States legally, but became out of status because our attorney at the time screwed us over. Thank you guys for your help in advance. Hope all your dreams come true!

Sunny
