No DACA for parents of DREAMers

Well, it wouldn't really have been DACA, which stands for deferred action for childhood arrivals, but this is the term that is widely accepted as a way for illegal immigrants to live and work legally in the United States without the fear of deportation.  After a long wait, President Barack Obama has concluded that there is no legal basis for deferred action for parents of DREAMers.  The logic is simple: the DREAMers could not be punished for the crimes committed by their parents but despite the fact that if parents are deported, the families get separated, it is a fact that these adults entered the United States of America illegally or overstayed a visa without proper authorization. 



So what are the options for parents of DACA approved DREAMers?  At this time if you have the financial means to do so, you must try to exploit the loophole in the US law to use advanced parole to take care of your EWI (entry without inspection) which will then clear the way for you to adjust your status without leaving the United States (I am being told by many DREAMers that a dying grandparent is the simplest excuse and there is a whole industry operated by drug mafia and gangsters in Mexico and Central America, that for a price, will create fake documents related to grandma or grandpa being seriously ill and on death bed just in case you do not have a grandparent or is not seriously ill).
You will have to figure out how to adjust your status, but I expect a lot of DREAMers to tie the knot right away with a citizen.  I would not be surprised that a lot of poor American citizens will enter into fraudulent marriages with anyone who is willing to pay several thousand Dollars to them (it is a serious crime for both the citizen and the immigrant but people do it anyway since the USCIS is incapable of policing and is under a lot of pressure from Obama and the Democrats to look the other way even if the marriage is clearly fake).  Once you get a green card, then, you can sponsor your parents to take advantage of the executive order signed by President Obama to defer deportations for parents of permanent residents or green card holders.

Can DACA approved DREAMers go on cruises?

As you know, I am strongly opposed to DACA approved DREAMers leaving the United States , even with advanced parole documents .  Yes, I understand that you may have to travel abroad using AP for business meetings or for humanitarian reasons or in some cases to exploit the loophole to let you adjust your status by wiping out your record of entry without inspection (EWI) .  Other than that, I cannot think of any other good reason to risk your future by leaving the US border.  Despite this, I keep getting questions about what loopholes can the DREAMers exploit to study overseas (I mean, seriously, the whole world aspires to study in America, and you want to go elsewhere?) or party somewhere or attend weddings. Passport may not be needed but proof of citizenship is:  One of these frequent questions is about cruises to the Caribbean Islands, like The Bahamas.  The thing is that some of the advertisements for these cruises tend to add "no passport needed" phrase to attract those

Completed sample Form I-765WS

Image
I already provided tips on completing the USCIS Form I-765 WS by DREAMers seeking work permits , but several of you have written that I provide a sample.  So below is a snapshot of an example form that I completed for a fictitious individual.  Please note the following: Complete your name in such a way that it is consistent with I-821D and I-765 . For current annual income , if you have a regular, full time job, simply use the information from your pay stub.  If not, simply add up the money you have made so far and estimate what your annual income is going to be.  However, if you work casually here and there performing small jobs, and do not have a steady job, simply add up whatever you were paid.  Do not forget tips and cash payments that you might receive, for example, in odd jobs.  If you made no money, for instance, if you are still in high school or simply do not have a job, write zero.  Keep good records of your basis, and definitely anything that can prove your income, beca

What are the consequences of using a fake Social Security number?

Many of the DREAMers applying for an EAD are struggling with the issue of their past use of a fake/false SSN to work illegally .  Obviously, the USCIS, DHS, and IRS are aware of it, and at this time the application process for the work permit under the deferred action childhood arrivals does not provide any guidelines on what happens if it is found out there is no match between your name and SS#.  There is no consensus among attorneys either right now and while one legal opinion is that there is no need to report any numbers that you have used to work in the past because these are not your numbers anyway, while other experts think that all numbers should be listed. Obviously, each case is unique and everyone should consult with an attorney to get a legal opinion, but this is a very complex situation, and can have serious consequences not just for a work permit under DACA but also for future steps like DREAM Act, green card (permanent residence), and eventually citizenship.  There i
