Hey everyone,

I usually try to maintain myself educated on current immigration laws or at least the ones that most affect us as undocumented immigrants. I've heard people mention that if you've been in the country for 10 years, you would be able to be legalized. Now, I know that is not the case (or if it was, it's not anymore and hasn't been for a while) as we have many older dreamers who have been pushing for the age limit to be increased on DACA so they can qualify for some sort of legalization or legal status. With that said, my parents like to remain hopeful and brought me a newspaper with an article from an immigration lawyer that talks about a other options since DAPA is pretty much dead and mentions a "10 year law". I don't want to flat out crush my parents' dreams so I wanted to check with people here if there's in fact such a law.

Here's a link/screenshot of the newspaper article (in Spanish): http://gyazo.com/7225b8c32fda5a505476624ca349fece

The reference is on the last column. The only thing I found online was this: http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/...rd-status.html

It refers to 10 years in the concept of trying to cancel removal proceedings (which my parents dont have). I remember some time before DACA was announced, hearing about a big court case (after seeing the article on this forum) where someone was granted deferred action in a similar fashion (not via DACA). Is that what the "10 year law" might refer to?

Thanks everyone!
