Obama re-election, DACA, and the way ahead for immigration

November 7, 2012

President Obama has won re-election. This is good news for immigrants in general — particularly the youth eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). I am confident DACA will continue at least through President Obama’s second term. Although I’m skeptical President Obama will get any farther with immigration reform than he did in his first term, immigration reform is at least a possibility. Meanwhile, it does not make sense to wait to file immediate relative petitions to start consular processing. For quesions about DACA, immediate relative petitions, consular processing, or any other immigration issues, contact Sam Asbury at sam@asburylaw.net or visit my web site at www.asburylaw.net.
