Q: I'm a Daca recipient, can I travel abroad for studies?
A: You should consult with a competent immigration attorney who can can analyze the particular facts of your situation. Generally speaking, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services is no longer granting "advance parole" travel documents to DACA beneficiaries such that they could reenter the United States to resume their DACA "status." Depending on the age at which you were granted DACA and your prior entry/exit history to/from the United States, you may not necessarily trigger a "bar" to reentry under certain sections of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA), but it could be very difficult to persuade a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad to issue a visa (e.g., student visa, visitor visa, etc.) that would enable to you reenter the United States. In such a scenario, you could become "stuck" outside of the United States. Again, for an accurate response that is specific to your facts, you should speak with an experienced immigration attorney.
