Immigrant bf
My boyfriend and I are both 17. He’s from Mexico and told me he came to the U.S. with a coyote when he was around 10. He’s been attending public school here ever since, but as far as I know, he doesn’t have any immigration documents. I’m also not sure if he has DACA or not.
His mom is also from Mexico. She has a driver’s license and seems to have some kind of legal documents, but she doesn’t really help him with this stuff or doesn’t know how the process works.
I’m trying to understand what options he has. Is there any way for him to get a Social Security number, a work permit, or any kind of legal ID? Can he apply for those on his own, or does he need a specific immigration status first?
We’re just trying to figure out where to start and what his options are. Any advice or information would be appreciated.
