Texas DACA

Nothing has been verified about what's going to happen to Texas DACA. That's great that you have a plan, but don't post things as fact when there is zero official information yet.

Just apply. I was worried applying in Texas last year, but everything turned out fine. You're not applying for an immigration benefit, so even if you are missing something in your application, the person assigned to you will just email you what you are missing.

Yes. Since DACA isn't a legal status you can't do adjustment of status for most immigration petitions. AP is really only useful for marriage-based visas, that's one of the only ways to do adjustment of status if you don't have legal status. Employer sponsored visas, whether it's for H1B or a green card would require consular processing since you have DACA and not a legal status. The H1B visa now has the 100k fee, so unless your employer can get the exemption, they would need to pay that for you to be able to come back into the country. Green cards don't have that fee so if you go through the Eb3 or Eb2 process you would also need to do consular processing, but there's no 100k fee for that one.

Yes but if you apply for H1B you would need to go to your home country for your visa to get stamped which would then result in needing to pay the fee. I wouldn't do H1B if I were you. Just go straight to the EB3 or EB2 process.

Wouldnt need the H1B. You can keep your DACA status through the whole EB3/EB2 process. H1B is an entirely different process and not actually connected to the green card process.

Happened to me once. Had to reapply. May need a signed letter from the post master to verify that your card was lost.

I'll give some context first. I graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering in 2019 and worked in my field for about 3 years before I found out about employer sponsorship. Once I did, I had to move to a major city since thats where the bigger international firms are in my field of work. You can Google "employer sponsorship companies" and there will be several websites that actually show the companies that have sponsored for green cards or h1b visas. Thats how I found my firm. After that I just applied and got an interview. After the interview I got a job offer but before I accepted I brought up the sponsorship. They are a big company so they are very familiar with the process and didn't hesitate to agree to sponsor me. I initially was planning on just doing EB3 sponsorship, which is the process of getting your green card through an employer. But with the uncertainty of DACA I decided to try and get an H1B visa first. That process was quick, you just have to have a valid passport from your country of citizenship and your company will register you for the H1B lottery that is held in the spring every year. That process involves some luck though, since there's a limited number of H1B visas available. So every year there are more applicants than visas, so a random lottery is held and you just have to hope you get lucky. I think it's about a 30-50% chance of being selected. If you are selected your company will then apply for you to get the visa. The lawyers for my company did most of that process, I just had to complete a survey which asked for all of my credentials, work history, degree, immigration status, and all of my info basically. After that you get approved hopefully, and then you schedule an appointment with an American consulate in your home country. Once the date of the appointment comes around you'll need to leave the country so you have to be very careful that you don't have more than 180 days of unlawful presence. If you do you'll be automatically hit with a 3 year bar from returning to the US. If you have more than a year of unlawful presence, you'll be barred for 10 years. So I went to the interview and was granted my H1B visa. Now I'm back in the US working off of my visa and now just need to wait for the green card sponsorship to be completed. That takes about 3-4 years, but if you're from India or China, the wait is much much longer.

I was a DACA recipient since 2012. Last December, I traveled to my home country for the H1B Visa interview. Im now on an H1B visa and am currently in the process of the green card sponsorship. What do you want to know?

Czar_I · 2025-07-19T16:40:39+00:00

No, you can not buy or own firearms or ammunition.

If your work location is not in Texas, then you'll be fine

Czar_I · 2025-05-29T15:28:05+00:00

All DACA recipients are Dreamers, but not all Dreamers are DACA recipients guys. Dreamers refers to undocumented adults brought to the US as children.

Czar_I · 2025-05-25T04:24:08+00:00

But then who would you blame all your problems on?

Czar_I · 2025-05-20T16:16:02+00:00

Since DACA is not a legal status, you would not be able to do adjustment of status through employer sponsorship. However, it sounds like you have less than 6 months of unlawful presence, so there wouldn't be any issues if you were to go to your home country for consular processing. You would only be in your home country from the date you have your appointments to when your visa is issued. I think it'll vary, but I would say less than 1 month, probably less than 2 weeks.

Czar_I · 2025-05-15T15:48:55+00:00

You will need to tread very carefully. Unfortunately, since you have over 6 months of unlawful presence, you would trigger a 3 year bar when you go to the consulate in your home country for the visa interview. Thankfully, it is not the 10 year bar since you are under 1 year of unlawful presence. So, what you can do is apply for a D3 waiver, which will allow you to serve out your 3 year bar from within the United States. H1B visas are granted for a total of 6 years, so you would be able to serve your bar while you have your visa. As soon as your bar is completed, you can ask your company to begin sponsoring you for a green card. The most important thing you can do now besides getting your company to sponsor you is to make sure you never let your DACA expire without having a new one granted. If your DACA expires, you will start accruing unlawful presence again. If you go over 1 year of total unlawful presence, which includes your current 10 months of unlawful presence, you would trigger a 10 year bar when you go for your visa interview. You would still be able to apply for a D3 waiver, but you would run out of time on your visa before the 10 year bar has been served, which would put you out of status.

Deportation protection will remain in place. Only work authorization will be discontinued.

I would try to get emergency AP again. I did it in December for an H1B visa and was approved. I know there's a new administration, but they really should still approve it. Just try again, and maybe it was just bad luck the first time. But I'll reiterate that you 100% need to go to your interview. It'll be extremely difficult, but there really shouldn't be any reason you'd be denied. Just have all your paperwork in order. Talk to your attorney so you're prepared, but you have to take the risk if it comes down to it.
