DACA to Green Card??

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone filed for their green card after their DACA approval? I see a lot of people mentioning DACA to AP. Is that absolutely necessary? I guess technically my mother would be filing for me since she's an American citizen. I finally have the money saved for applications & im ready for a more permanent solution.

You should probably head over to the DACA to AOS section.. ALLLL your questions will be answered there.

AP only helps in cases of Immediate Relative Sponsorship, so only in the following:
1) US citizen sponsoring spouse
2) US citizen over 21 sponsoring parent
3) US citizen parent sponsoring child under 21

That's because the above categories ignore overstaying and working illegally, they do not overlook an illegal entry which AP clears.

For any other avenue of sponsorship you will need an I-601A waiver. So your mother or some employer (or both) will sponsor you, I-130 or I-140 is approved, when priority date becomes current you file I-601A that your absence would cause extreme hardship to your qualifying relative(s): US citizen or Green Card Holder, Parent(s) or/and Spouse.

This assumes a simple overstay or EWI, that you were never caught, never placed in removal proceedings, never been convicted of a crime, etc, etc. PM me if you want to talk about your case in more detail.

Okay great. Will be PMing you in a few.
