I arrived in the US at the age of 4. From my understanding, I have not acquired any unlawful presence up to my 18th birthday. I had DACA at 17 and currently still have it now (I’m 25). There was a short 2 week period I was not under DACA in between expiration and renewal but all in all I should not qualify for the 3 or 10 year bar if I were to up and leave without advance parole which would allow me to return lawfully.
I’m planning to return as an international PhD student and eventually work my way to residency….
Is there a flaw in this ? I feel like I’m idealizing this plan way too much.
I’m aware there’s the whole reconciliation bill & immigration but I’m honestly tired of politics dangling the carrot in front of me. I’m planning to do this if this bill fails. Would appreciate the clarification.
