Have DACA and traveled with advance parole? A recent immigration decision may have you wondering whether you can still apply for a green card. In my latest conversation with a fellow immigration attorney, we discussed the Del Carmen decision and what it could mean for DACA recipients who previously traveled outside the United States with advance parole. Here's an important distinction: If you traveled with advance parole and successfully returned to the U.S. before the decision, our interpretation is that the decision's negative implications should not necessarily affect that earlier travel. That means adjustment of status may still be an option if you otherwise qualify. But every case is different. Your immigration history, any unlawful presence, and other eligibility factors still matter. If you have DACA and are considering applying for a green card, have an immigration attorney review your situation before making any decisions.
