Another year for him that's great news for him, hopefully we can get this Dream act thing passed before that time is up.

So he has 1 year? And he has one chance for the Dream Act to pass this or early next year.

What happens next year? Does he get another extention?

Amen, congrats to you Walter.

This is a really good sign. A prelude for whats to come.

Walter

this just made my day. congrats to him and everybody who did something to make this happen. in a way, its our victory as well.

It's really sucks that he got in this situation and it's scary to think that the only reason he got a stay is through sheer luck with his case getting media attention.

Honestly, as strange as it sounds, getting a stay of deportation for a year at this moment would be perfect for me. I am planning to go back if the DA doesn't pass within a year. And according to I-765 section 274a.12(a)11 people with deferred departure are allowed to apply for an EAC, which would ultimately mean they can apply for a SS# and get a DL and what not.

I can apply for DEFERRED action for 2 years, then I can apply for EAD, and strangely, the UCIS may give me a change to adjust my status due to the humanitarian statement. I just do not know should I apply it or not.
