DACA Advance Parole Warning: New BIA Decision Changes the Risk | Pink Politics

A new Board of Immigration Appeals decision could have major consequences for some DACA recipients considering Advance Parole. In this episode of Pink Politics, immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez breaks down the Del Carmen decision, how unlawful presence can trigger three- or ten-year bars, and why your individual immigration history matters before leaving the United States. Kathleen also explains how to check for prior removal orders, what the ruling could mean for VAWA, TPS, and asylum applicants, and when consular processing may be a safer path toward a green card. The biggest takeaway: before traveling, know your history and talk to an immigration attorney about your specific case.
