DACA, Bachelor's and Employer Sponsor - Page 3

It's a very gray area. While DACA and AP don't and can't clear previous illegal presence (only act of congress or presidential pardon could) one could with a good lawyer try to claim that re-entering on Advance Parole counts as entry with inspection (ie. you'd clear an EWI), and try to adjust from there (will be easier and shorter than trying to go through I-601).

Alternatively one could go back to the country of origin with AP and wait for I-130 to be processed there (10 year ban won't trigger and you're out of the country for processing). Pick up the green card there and re-enter US with the green card.

Still coming back with AP is a thing of its own. Recent court case says that you cannot be denied re-entry due to previous illegal presence however the agencies responsible like to resist rulings (you'd probably need the lawyer on the airport when you come back).

i talked to 3 lawyers and they said you cannot get GC from employer sponsorship. Only way is to marry citizen; if you came legally.. if EWI then...wait for a new law

Yeah but which company would hired an lawful status person when there are literally people in line for those same jobs? And I dont think I can get anywhere with my BA degree (which I will get in a year)

You can't get a sponsor on a Overstay status though right?

That is what I was thinking.

For my case my visa expired, but I could have always maintained lawful presence with an immigration court case, and right now I have DACA, which counts as lawful presence. I think I cannot do I-485 here because my visa expired, but it could be I don't have any unlawful presence. If someone sponsor me and I leave the country for consular processing and with advanced parole in case it didn't work and I can still come back, would that work?
