dreamer.2012 2 Posted July 25, 2012 Hello.. I came to the us when I was 16 yrs old in 2008 with a tourist visa. I Have only lived in the us for 4 years and a couple of months. I graduated high school here in the us and currently in college. My question is... Will there be a chance or a little hope for me to apply for deferred action.? Will I need a lawyer to help me? Is there a loophole in obama's new policy? Please help me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aled 118 Posted July 25, 2012 Hello Dramer.2012, If you've already looked at the the basic requirements, you'll see that one of the prerequisites to be eligible is that you have lived in the U.S five continuous years beginning June 15, 2007. You've also mentioned that you entered the country being 16 years of age. Truth is, if you don't have necessary documents to prove to them that you entered the country at 16 years of age or younger and, that you've lived five continuous years in the U.S than I do suggest you get yourself an attorney. What I believe truly matters, is that you can provide evidence to them that you have physically been here and entered the country at the required age(16 or younger). You should know what you can provide to them. Best of Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamer.2012 2 Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks!! I do have a proof of arriving here when I was 16.. It's just the age requirements and years of staying here that puts me in a hard spot.... But other than that, I have everything that I need to qualify... Good luck to the both of us! Thanks;) 1 Aled reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
