So I am a dreamer just like everyone else here.

My mom a few years back got a ssn that is the type that is only good for working and not traveling or anything else really (has it in big letters across it). I have never been arrested for anything. In fact I have never even received a detention and I fit all the other descriptions of the Dream Act.

However I was also thinking that I might be able to use the fact that one of my parents has a valid ssn to get something myself. But alas I am 18. I'm not sure if being 18 means anything in regards to how much my parents can help in a legal situation like this. I am planning pursuing legal advice in the near future but I wanted to see if anyone here had any info on this or advice. Should I just wait it out or try to get something going with a lawyer?

I should also mention that I am going to be a freshman in college next year so I have 4-6 years of waiting time. So processing time for now inst much of an issue.

Thanks to anyone in advance who replies and thanks to anyone who even bothers reading.

Nope. Their SSNs will do nothing for you. Dont bother going to a lawyer. that's a waste of money cuz they cant do anything for you.

Social security numbers are not an immigration status.They are just numbers issued to those that are currently work authorized in the US and thus must have some sort of legal status through USCIS.

I would suggest pursuing legal advice anyway to see what your options are with regards to an immigrant status.

**I'm not a lawyer and I'm basing this on experience**

You're mom is obviously going through her paperwork, she can petition you once she becomes a US citizen. However, you can only be petitioned before the age of 21, once she recieves her citizenship. After the age of 21, your mom cannot petition you for I-130 (for more information please take the time to google this)

You can seek a lawyer for this advice--most likely they can't do anything until she has either permenant residency or citizenship (most likely citizenship)

Hope I helped.
