When Can an Undocumented Immigrant Get Status Under the New Immigration Law

[clarence333]

There is still no law. We cannot tell you what the law says until there's a law we can look at.

i understand, i also have a friend in california that has a working permit and he works now as a CNA in a facility, for situation like him can he still leave and re enter the US legally? ( he overstayed his visa though, i dont know if that will matter )

[Mr. Knowitall]

A visa is the document that lets you lawfully enter another nation on a specified status. Depending on the facts, purpose of the visit and their nation of origin, some people can enter based upon visa waiver-type programs; some people may be able to get a visa at the border. but if you don't qualify for entry, you don't get in.

[Disagreeable]

I would say your odds are very low, even if something were to magically pass. They seem to be addressing the illegals that crossed the border and never had a visa. You on the other hand, had a visa and fraudulently overstayed. You are documented.

so he needs a advance parole inorder to travel?, what could be the risks if he travels outside and reenter US with advance parole? is there gonna ba a guarantee that he can still reenter US?

[Mr. Knowitall]

He can leave the U.S. any time he chooses. To return, he needs a lawful basis for reentry.

Where are you getting "advance parole" from? You've mentioned nothing about LPR status.

[clarence333]

isnt advance parole a travel document that you can still reenter US without a immigrant visa?

[Mr. Knowitall]

If you are in the process of adjusting your status to LPR, advance parole allows you to leave and reenter the U.S. before you are granted LPR status. It has no relevance to somebody who has simply overstayed an authorized stay.
