So with advanced parole you are given a permit to leave the country and come back legally thus making a "legal entry". DACA from my knowledge is available to any nationality as long as the requirements are met which I think include being present in the country before 18 birthday. So you should definitely research DACA if you think you're eligible but I'm also not sure if they are still accepting applications...

No it's the other way around. First I was granted DACA then I did advance parole and obtained a legal entry.

Hi Peter! I currently have work authorization through DACA and I also have a legal entry. I'm curious if you recommend trying to get h1b or stick with my current status. I do want to find a path to secure a green card but unsure if staying with DACA is my best option.

Hi,

I'm graduating next spring with a B.S. in Physics/Computer Science and currently have work authorization through DACA. With the recent challenges the current administration have imposed on DACA it's not clear what will happen with DACA in the next year. Do you suggest I seek an employer that can sponsor for h1 visa? Are DACA recipients eligible for h1 visa? Are there other pathways you suggests I explore?

The funds are best disbursed through a non-profit because most high school students do not know about legal and accounting procedures. Say an after-school club raises 20k intended for the annual budget. Sponsors which might be individuals but more than likely are companies will not write a check to any student but rather write a check to the school. Schools alone have many bureaucratic hurdles that make managing club funds inefficient. Therefore, although Clubs might have in paper 20k or say even 50k that money is being held by the school or another organization whose priority is not acting as the middleman, therefore, causing delays and all sorts of problems. Tackling a very cumbersome challenge, congrats Hack Club!
