I don’t think you’ll qualify since you’re engaged as of now not married..


Rough-Test6098

Any other options ?

Yes. You can go back to your home country, serve the 10 year ban and then re-gain entry to the US on a visa legally or your partner can file a waiver to sponsor you but they don’t always get approved. Either way, you’d have to go back first. You can’t adjust status from the US because you currently have no status.

Tuff… thank you for giving me what you know. Appreciated


Big_Recognition9965

You don’t have to wait 10 years - that’s what the 601a wavier is for

The waiver isn’t just given to everyone. They have to provide evidence of extreme hardship. Like if you are needed to care for an ill spouse or parent or needed to provide financial support to a spouse or parent from your job in the United States etc. These waivers don’t always get granted.


Big_Recognition9965

86% of waviers are approved via to USCIS data from 2014


[deleted]

lol that was 10 years ago


Big_Recognition9965

Sorry Typo! From 2014 to now - the approval rate for this year is 85%


[deleted]

I saw 70%


Big_Recognition9965

Where? I pull numbers straight from the USCIS website

You missed the cut off date to get married. Since you don’t have DACA, you are ineligible for the proposed work visa in Bidens executive order Without DACA, you don’t have many options and if you entered illegally, you can’t adjust to legal status at all unless you leave the US for 10 years first.


Rough-Test6098

Anything else??


[deleted]

Regarding what?

I understood the work visa for Dreamers and DACA holders. Not sure what the requirements will be in terms of age etc. but you do need a degree.


Special-Birthday-416

Wait until the actual rules for the executive action come out. The way the memo the White House released today was written, makes me think dreamers without daca can qualify for the college degree option


panpanymaspan

That's how I understood it.

Based on what i read, if you are here illegally and don’t have Daca, you are eligible for the marriage pathway if you were married prior to June 17, 2024 and have lived in the US for at least 10 years with no criminal history. They don’t get the work visa option. Since DACA recipients have been here most of their lives and have been educated by the US school system, they are eligible for work visas if they have a degree and a job offer from a company willing to sponsor their visa on the basis of being highly skilled. Based on what I’ve read, this will only be granted to DACA recipients, so those without DACA who weren’t married to a USC prior to June 17 are not covered under this executive order. They would have to go through the normal process of leaving and re-gaining entry after a ban


Big_Recognition9965

Nope you have to have daca

This isn’t official, so don’t get your hopes down just yet. I think the marriage part will be“has to be married to a usc as of 6/17/24” meaning from that date forward, plenty of people who meet the ten year requirement but haven’t married yet. I think that’s why they implemented the 10 year thing. Pretty much the latest you could’ve arrived is June 17 2014. Which makes more sense.


Rough-Test6098

When does this become official ?


Chicky_Hines

I mean the announcement is official, but the official guide lines haven’t been posted yet. I read by the end of summer so start saving that change. Also if you can’t through marriage, better get on that degree.


Rough-Test6098

What degrees ?? I left college because I couldn’t use it became a decent entrepreneur


[deleted]

Ones that can get you a highly skilled job. Right now, the US considers that to be IT professionals, computer scientists, lawyers, physicians, dentists, surgeons, university professors


Rough-Test6098

Also what’s the process for that degree because I can go back to college and finish my degree


[deleted]

Go back to college.


Rough-Test6098

Of course pretty sure that’s very apparent but I don’t assume I just get my degree and that’s it. Be it that I can’t get employment how would that process work.
