Q: My parents are green card holders can they sponsor me a daca recipient.
My parents are green card holders can they sponsor me a daca recipient. We entered the us legally back in 1992,and overstayed. However my parents are now legal residents. Ive kept my daca status since it was created and have never left the us.
A:
One of your lawful permanent resident parents can file the FORM I-130 (relative petition) on your behalf if you are unmarried.
As a DACA recipient you are not accumulating unlawful presence upon the issuance of DACA by USCIS. Depending on the age you obtained DACA, you may not have accumulated sufficient unlawful presence to trigger a bar if you depart the U.S.
I highly recommend that you visit and consult with a qualified immigration attorney to properly assess your options.
Good luck to you.
