¿Si solicito la Acción Diferida antes de cumplir 18 años acumulo presencia indocumentada?

En su segmento "Pregúntale a la Abogadae" Jessica Dominguez explica la importancia de solicitar el alivio de Acción Diferida cuando un joven está a punto de cumplir los 18 años.

En su segmento "Pregúntale a la Abogada" Jessica Dominguez explica la importancia de solicitar el alivio de Acción Diferida cuando un joven está a punto de cumplir los 18 años de edad para evitar acumular presencia indocumentada en el país.

Esta semana escribe Josefina de Nueva York y dice: “Tengo dos hijos que ingresaron a los 3 y 4 años. Uno tiene 16 años y el otro 17. He estado escuchando mucho en las noticias sobre la Acción Diferida y la importancia de solicitarla antes de que ellos cumplan los 18.” Su pregunta es: “¿Es cierto que si se solicita la Acción Diferida antes de los 18 años es como que mis hijos nunca vivieron aquí sin documentos todos estos años?"

Jóvenes quienes están en el país sin un estatus migratorio empiezan a  acumular presencia indocumentada al cumplir los 18 años. Existe un castigo para toda persona quien vive en los Estados Unidos sin un estatus migratorio. Al cumplir los 180 días sin un estatus migratorio obtiene el castigo de los 3 años al salir del país y al cumplir 1 año o más al salir del país se obtiene el castigo de los 10 años.

Jóvenes que solicitan el alivio de Acción Diferida antes de cumplir los 18 años no acumularan presencia indocumentada en los Estados Unidos mientras la solicitud esta pendiente. Al tener la solicitud aprobada tampoco acumularan presencia indocumentada.

Les invito a registrar su pregunta a “Pregúntale a la Abogada” en http://jessicadominguez.com/ , a ver su programa Despierta América todos los miércoles por Univisión para ver su segmento Ángel de la Justicia, y a escuchar su programa radial “Pregúntale a la Abogada” para más consejos acerca de las leyes de inmigración cada domingo a las 8 de la mañana en su estación la 101.9 FM.

The Yes on Measure T yard signs say at the bottom "jobs and public safety," that doesn'tRead More seem all that separate to me.

@sweetcakes: on all that we definitely agree!

Cathy, when I was hired at the Federal agency I work at, I had to sign an agreement regarding notRead More violating the Hatch act and not being involved in any political matter. In my position it could be construed that my agency supports one political idea or agenda. (I am in a high level position). I have always honored and respected the Hatch Act and will continue to do so. I did write a letter to the editor of the local paper a few years back on a hot topic and heard from my regional manager about it and also had my front window bashed in at my home, so I continue to post as sweetcakes. I also watched the complete city council meeting on TV and was disgusted by how the city manager and council interact with the public and ideas presented. It doesn't appear that city management and council members actually seek and use public input and ideas when making decisions. The only member on the council that thinks about the topic at hand and asks intelligent questions is Dr. Bilicich. I guess this is why the majority never wanted her as mayor. Dodge is using his position on the council to push his agenda. Measure T goes against what LAFCO (Dodge is chairman of LAFCO) stands for. He shouldn't even be on the LAFCO commission because of his involvement on Measure T. The goal of LAFCO is to guide urban development away from prime agricultural lands and open space resources; to promote orderly growth; and to discourage urban sprawl. I guess he was appointed at Alejo's command to push the agenda of paving over our valuable farmland. Vote NO on T

I used my yes on T flier to line the birdcage. It pissed my parrot off so much, he bit me!

We got one too sweetcakes (some caring person actually tucked it into my door handle so it wouldn'tRead More blow away) even though I have a "No on T" sign in my yard. The "Yes on T" is all lies anyway so it went right into my recycle bin. Perhaps it was just coincidence but they came while we were at the City Council meeting last night. Go figure.
