Q: DACA spouse which she got before she turned 18. She now 27 and recently got the i-130 approved. Is 601a needed?
A:
That depends on whether she entered the U.S. legally. We recommend applying for advance parole, if she qualifies, and through that process she would be able to have a lawful entry and then adjust her status.

A: Given that the DACA spouse obtained her status before the age of 18 and now at 27 has an approved I-130, a 601A waiver may not be required if she is eligible to adjust her status under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) provisions. However, specific details of the case, such as the timing of the I-130 approval and other individual factors, need to be reviewed carefully to provide accurate advice.
