Hi everyone,

I need some advice regarding my immigration situation. I'm currently a DACA recipient with significant unlawful presence in the U.S., and we are concerned about my ability to adjust status. Recently, we discovered that my father had filed an I-140 petition in 1999 so I might be grand fathered in for 245(i) protection.

my wife is currently in the process of obtaining her PERM certification and plan to file I-140 petition soon. We are exploring the possibility that I might be eligible for adjustment of status under Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act based on my father's old petition.

Could anyone provide insights on:

Eligibility criteria for adjustment of status under Section 245(i) in this context.
Required documentation to support this claim.
How to incorporate this information into our current strategy, including the H1B and I-485 applications.
Thanks in advance for your help!
