Do you tell employer about DACA? - Page 3

Or at least that is how it should happen. You fill the I-9 and you are good to go.


I have not heard of anyone who has been asked for documents prior to employment.

Then on your first day you bring it in a hard copy.

Only exception is when the job requires a security clearance as often a citizenship is required to obtain these clearances.

It is against the law for an employer to ask you your status. Don't volunteer that information as you never know who you're dealing with.

Happened to me.

They are only allowed to ask.

Are you able to legally work in the united states without sponsorship.


You should answer, yes.


End of story, anything beyond that is not allowed.

This is from one of our experts demise:

"
It is impossible unless you're covered under 245(i).
In order to be covered under 245(i) you or a person you were dependent of (parent or spouse), must have had a green card petition (I-130, I-140 (or PERM with DoL), I-360, or I-526) filed on their behalf on or before April 30th 2001, (and if the petition was filed on or after January 15th 1998 - you have to demonstrate that the primary beneficiary of the petition was physically present in US on December 21st 2000).

Otherwise you're not eligible to adjust status via work since you have failed to maintain continuous lawful status for a period longer than 180 days.

Only way you could adjust status is either via:
1) Your asylum case, assuming you win it.
2) Via marriage to a US citizen (note however that marriage entered into while in removal proceedings, which includes asylum cases, get's looked at under a microscope).
