Can you qualify for this type of amnesty? The answer is still yes. Even if you are an illegal alien who has never worked in the United States and cannot produce any evidence to reasonably infer that you have worked illegally in the United States. you and your family can get on the bills direct path to citizenship. You get automatic amnesty. no requirement to prove work. If you have fulltime attendance at an institution of higher educationgraduation is not requiredfulltime attendance at any secondary school. as defined by State law. or you are a minor under the age of 21. what does qualifying for amnesty get you? The mere filing of an application for amnesty triggers the following things: Employment authorization for the alien. the aliens spouse and children. permission to travel abroad and return to the United States. protection from being detained. determined inadmissible or deportable or removed pending final adjudication of the aliens application for adjustment of status. Only future conduct or a criminal conviction removes these protections. Additionally. if you have already been ordered removed from the United States or if you are subject to mandatory detention for a criminal conviction. the Department of Homeland Security has to give you the opportunity to show you are eligible for amnesty before you can be removed. This will simply freeze the entire detention and removal operation of the Department of Homeland Security. If you are legally here in January of 2004 because you got a work visa before you came to the United States. you will not get the benefit of this amnesty. Repeat that: If you are legally here because you got a valid work visa or permit before January of 2004. you do not get the benefit of this amnesty. This amnesty benefits you only if you came here illegally. So we are only giving you a direct path to citizenship if you first broke our laws.
