I'm currently a DREAMer trying to find out if there's a way to residency or possibly citizenship

At this time, everyone is still waiting for action by Congress to pass permanent residence legislation for the DREAMERS. Short of that, permanent residence would only be available through the traditional immigration routes of family, employment, asylum, or investment, etc. Many of these routes would also require that the applicant be the beneficiary of §245(i), which allows adjustment of status for those who have a basis for doing so upon payment of a fine amount of $1000 if the individual is able to show that he or she was the beneficiary of a labor certification application or immigrant visa petition which was filed by April 30, 2001, and that he or she was physically present in the U. S. on December 21, 2000. .
