JoseG 383 Posted November 8, 2012 This isn't the Dream Act, this is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) The Dream Act provides us with a pathway to Citizenship, DACA doesn't. DACA and the work permit alone would not make it any easier or harder to adjust your status. If he entered with a VISA, he wouldn't need to go outside of the U.S. and he would be able to adjust his status without a problem. If entered EWI (crossed the border illegally) He would have to leave the U.S. unlesss they are covered under 245i, and would probably not be able to re-enter for 3/10 years. There was a case recently where someone who came EWI but had (Temporary Protected Status) TPS traveled outside of the United States with Advance Parole, then when they tried to adjust their status, that person didn't need to travel outside of the country anymore because they were let legally back into the country through Advance Parole. We still don't know for sure if Advance Parole is safe to use with DACA though. Read it here. http://musingsonimmi...ustment-of.html Don't take my word for it though. You should definitely get help from an immigration attorney when you guys are ready to file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
