Please keep us updated as to your progress. I always assumed this would not work but let's see, plus it's on your company's dime so zero downside for you.

Contact your manager or hr to confirm.
I had the option to do this at work but unfortunately I have a deportation

Super interested in updates on this. I've had employers offer to sponsor but I always assumed that was not an option.

What country are you from and what is the wait? PERM certifications go by the date priority. For India, its like 8 years..

Back with a status update + some questions for y'all lawyers/paralegals out there.

My country of birth is Mexico...

As mentioned previously, my PERM certification has been approved. Also mentioned, my case is being handled by the company's law firm and as a next step, given all my personal details, they are proceeding to file a PERM/I-140 sponsorship petition requesting consular processing + advance parole.

They mentioned another option for me as back-up (cap-subject H-1B) but it sounds like this would be something they would try only if DACA goes away. For now, we are moving forward with the I-140.

So. questions for you out there. Have any of you successfully obtained an I-140 sponsorship even after accumulating unlawful presence? Are any of you aware of the risk level of traveling outside the US for consular processing if the petition is approved?

I am yet to chat with the lawyers on my end and will be asking them this questions along with trying to get a number for success rate on this cases but wanted to see if any of you had experience in the matter.

Three questions:
1. What status (if any) did you enter with?
2. How much unlawful presence do you actually have?
3. Do you have a relative through whom you can get an I-601A?

1. NoLawful/NoStatus and have not advanced parole
2. A good amount. I got DACA only after I graduated from college at around 23y
3. I do not have any relatives that can petition me

Then you're fucked.

They might even approve your i140, but when it comes to I-485, they will definitely reject it.

I do then wonder what the purpose behind all of this is. If there is a risk of me being denied re-entry during a consular visit. Why would they risk it? I am not saying I am irreplaceable for the company but still.

I’ll update once I sync with them.
