Obama to announce action Thursday - Page 4

It would suck if parents of DACA kids are not included specially because the ones who have pushed the hardest for this to happen have been DACA people.

They halted the program until they can figure out how to process DACA people.

I hope they get included...

I hope so too. I have decided to stop reading anymore about this because its just stressing me out.

I feel you, I did the same when I was in grad school. The DACA kids at my school marginalized me.

Here's an article that was published on CNN a few days ago, and it points out some interesting facts:

Quote from the article:

"When those undocumented college students known as DREAMers first argued for special treatment, the claim was based on the simple idea that they were brought here as children and thus didn't intentionally choose to break the law. Fair enough. But the same thing can't be said of their parents, who did intentionally break the law. Now what? Is there a new argument? Besides, if Obama offers deferred action to parents, it will validate what conservatives have always insisted about how the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants can be used to keep their parents from being deported."

If they're gonna offer relief to parents of U.S. citizens, then they might as well offer it to parents of DACA beneficiaries, from a humanitarian standpoint. Whether you were born here or brought here as a minor, you probably consider this to be your home just as much anyways. The difference is that offering relief to parents of U.S. citizens probably has more constitutional leverage than offering it to parents of DACA beneficiaries, from a legal standpoint. I'm assuming Obama is trying to watch his own ass too.

Whatever it may be, i just wanna know already. Even though i know there probably isn't anything in that executive order for me, lol.

BISCUIT brah! Again..what are you saying man!! If you came here truthfully before age 16, you need to fight tooth and nail to get DACA! Have you consulted a lawyer about this? Don't give up too easily because the truth is the truth. I am 100% sure you qualify. And yes, for sure they will be expanding the current DACA.

I did consult a lawyer. I was told that USCIS wants you to prove that you established residence before the age of 16. I entered the country at the age of 15 with a B1/B2 Visa/BCC and i have the 1-94 to prove it, but i don't have anything to prove i established residence until i enrolled in High School, which was in January of 2001. At that point, i was already 16 years and 7 months old.

I was also told that my case may have been particularly affected by the fact that i have multiple recorded entries from the time before i established residence at 16 years old. I traveled into the U.S. frequently, and a lot of times those entries were recorded with an I-94, so that's why it's particularly difficult for USCIS to determine whether it was a brief visit or an actual attempt to stay in the country.

How about immunization records needed for school. I just got my school records and I opted that the school district send all records of me. They sent copies of my immunization records that were dated a few months before I started school. They also sent some placement records dated months before my school start.
