While Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) does not offer a direct route to lawful permanent residency, recipients may become eligible for a green card through an independent immigration pathway. Common options include marriage to a U.S. citizen, sponsorship by a qualifying family member or employer, or humanitarian programs such as asylum. Adjustment of status may be possible if the individual entered the U.S. lawfully or has advanced parole. Each case requires individualized legal assessment.
