I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

Hi Peter, what are my options as someone who qualifies for DACA (but doesn't have it) when it comes to working in tech or getting hired by a real company? Currently I do "false freelance" work for a small company that doesn't pay well.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You can get DACA work authorization without a job offer and then one you have it, you don't need sponsorship by a company to work.
