As a green card holder, I’d like to know if I can sponsor a DACA-status child.
I just received my green card. My son, however, applied for DACA for various reasons and is currently working under that status. I’d like to know if I, as a green card holder, can sponsor a child who currently has DACA status.
Yes, it is possible for a green card holder to sponsor a child with DACA status. There’s hope here because a waiver may be available. Using a waiver opens up several possible paths, such as family-based sponsorship or an employment-based immigrant visa, so please keep this in mind. Also, once the parent later becomes a citizen, although it takes time, an opportunity opens up for the now-adult child of a citizen to adjust status.
