More details to this question:
I have been deported from the USA and I must ask if there's anything I could do to apply for USA Documents. I am currently 15 years old, came here at the age of six then deported under a fake passport but then came back when I was seven through the border. I know I would be more opened to available options if I wasn't deported. I am a good person, I care about my education, I don't do anything bad. I do good in school as a 10th grader and am well skilled in Filming, that I'm applying with a friend to compete in Filming Contests. I wondering what I'm still available to I'll do anything. For example, If I'm very good at a sport will that help me out to get USA Documents in some way? What if I win multiple filming contests, that give collage credit, that'll make me look really good for collages. Would having a good reputation be good for this? Or could I get adopted by USA citizens and get USA Documents. Please let me know all the options I have left under this situation. Thank You

If you are currently 15 years old and came back to the U. S. when you were 7, that means that you reentered the U. S. in 2007, 8 years ago. If you managed to reenter by June 15, 2007, you may be eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) since you are presently going to school and never left the U. S. I assume that you are crime free or have not committed a felony, 3 misdemeanors or a significant misdemeanor. Under the DACA program, you would be allowed a two-year period of time to stay in the U. S. with employment authorization. The program could be extended by the next president. If you do not qualify for DACA, you may be eligible for the expanded version of DACA which is currently being litigated in the courts. If it is finally approved, you will only need to have entered the U. S. by the age of 16 and to have resided here continuously since January 1, 2010.
