Everglades City, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hello.  You are ineligible to apply for DACA because as you said, you needed to have been ehre illegally since 6/15/2012 and you were in legal status on that day.  You indicate you graduated in 2014 but don't say whether you were issued Practical Traininig or whether you are still on it.  Your father is an LPR, and if you are not eligible to follow to join, he should have filed a petition on your behalf.  There are potential avenues to resolve your situation, but I would need to discuss your case with you.  If you would like to contact my office by phone and schedule an appointment (in office or telephonic), you can.  Our number is (619) 291-1112.  If your question is solely as to DACA eligibility, I have asnwered that for you and you need not call for an appointment. 

You can file to change your status from a visitor to a student. One red flag that I see is you want to change your status only a few weeks after entering the country. USCIS may feel that you had concealed intent when entering with a tourist visa. Accordingly you need an attorney to prepare the petition to maximize your chances of success. Good luck. 

Under most conditions, the child of a U.S. citizen who is born in another country is a U.S. citizen at birth. Locate the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulkate to where you are living ands ask about the process for obtaining a Consular Report of a Birth Abroad.  There are strict requirements to documents the facts, such as your own citizenship status, and that the child is yours, so follow their instructions carefully.  Good luck.
