Meanwhile, try to find a solution that will grant you permanent residence like I did when I was sponsored for the F2A visa. Try to marry someone or if you have US citizen sibling, wait until they're 21 so that they can petition you. Or, if you're super talented in your career apply for an employment visa. Nevertheless, I wish there wasn't a huge backlog for visas for particular countries.

What you're saying is "I got mine, so fuck the rest of you".

Why would we need DACA if we can just "try to find a solution that will grant you permanent residence"? This is the same bs as "just get to the back of the line".

And, I'm not trying to sound like a pretentious asshole nor do I prose DACA since it has adjusted my status. However, I'm just trying to clear up the entitlement some users have here. At least be thankful there are movements and actions to help you guys.

I feel as American as native born citizens, but the truth is that is not the case RIGHT NOW. And there are some solutions that could give us permanent residence (marriage, family petitions, job sponsorships, etc). Get over yourself and realize that he's on our side and showing sympathy.
