Dear Dreamer:  If iyou obtained a work permit through DACA you probably are not eligible to obtain a GC since DACA benefited kids out of status.  However, I have had DACA clients who were eligible for Permanent Residency through 245i ( a petition or labor certifcation was filed for the kid's parent before April 30,2011) or through a provisional waiver through marriage to a USC.  You should check if either apply to you.  If not, you can under current law work, start your own business, and renew the work card in 2 years.  And, if we do have Immigration Reform you may be eligible.
