Help im confuse on something on the application

thanks for the help

how long were you gone when you left at the age of 15?

I think you should read the following.

For over a year

if you were gone for a whole year then it is going to be really hard for USCIS to approve your case. especially if that year is within the 5 yrs of continuous residency that needs to be proven. 2007 to 2012.

USCIS will disregard brief absences such as a month or a few weeks but not a whole year, regardless of one meeting all the other requirements for DACA.

This is listed over at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...00082ca60aRCRD

New - Q1: I first came to the United States before I turned 16 years old and have been continuously residing in the United States since at least June 15, 2007. Before I turned 16 years old, however, I left the United States for some period of time before returning and beginning my current period of continuous residence. May I be considered for deferred action under this process?
A1: Yes, but only if you established residence in the United States during the period before you turned 16 years old, as evidenced, for example, by records showing you attended school or worked in the United States during that time, or that you lived in the United States for multiple years during that time. In addition to establishing that you initially resided in the United States before you turned 16 years old, you must also have maintained continuous residence in the United States from June 15, 2007, until the present time to be considered for deferred action under this process.

You've been here since you were 2 but left at 15 but u came back when you were 16 years old. This was before June, 2007. So according to the link, it seems you do qualify. But you have to prove that you have established residence before u left when you were 15 years old. At least that's how I interpret it.

I agree.

If you've been here since age 2 and left at 15, then you established residency within the U.S. by going to school during all of those years. As long as you came back before June 15, 2007, you should be fine.

Yes I came back in 2002 during my junior year in high school I have dental records, medical records, idk if they give elementary school records or middle school records? But I have my shoot records.

And. For June 2007 I have pay stubs and dental records , doctor records, my kids birth certificate , marriage certificates

You can always try go to your last high school and ask for you cumulative record it shows from elementary all the way to high school graduation, very handy because it covers many years. You might have to wait for it, I graduated in 2009 and they told me I had to wait a week for it because it was an "old" record.
