Q: I have been in U.S.A since 2010. i was coming for visit my sister with my mother. I could not go back to my country.
because the problem and fighting each other. am I under Obama action?
A: Obama's executive action provides temporary relief to undocumented immigrants who have been in the US five years or more, were children when brought here by their parents, or are the parents of a US citizen or legal permanent resident. From the limited information you've provided, I doubt you qualify. However, if there is a real risk to your life should you return home, you should see an immigration lawyer about applying for asylum.
A:
I tried to return your email, but it came up undeliverable:
You qualify for deferred action if you are the parent of a citizen US citizen born prior to 11/20/14 AND you have resided continuously in the US since January 1, 2010, provided that you are not a deportation priority (a criminal). Deferred action would give you temporary legal status and work authorization, which would have to be renewed every few years.
You qualify for deferred action if you came to the US as a child under the age of 16 and have continuously resided here since January 1, 2010, who is in school, granduated from highschool or obtained a GED, or are an honorably discharged veteran AND you have no significant criminal history. Deferred action would give you temporary legal status and work authorization, which would have to be renewed every few years.
You qualify for a visa waiver if you have been unlawfully present in the US for 180 days or more and are the son, daughter, or spouse of a citizen or lawful permanent resident. A visa waiver would allow you to obtain a valid visa.
All of this could be reversed basically at any moment and Congress may refuse to fund the program.
