You failed to mention your immigration status. Depending upon your immigration status, your son may qualify for immigration benefits. Your son may also qualify for DACA. A person seeking DACA must meet the following criteria: (1) been under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; (2) arrived to the United States before reaching the 16th birthday; (3) continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007 up to the present time; (4) been physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012; (5) been physically present at the time of requesting deferred action from USCIS; (6) entered without inspection before June 15, 2012 or had any lawful immigration status expired on or before this deadline; (7) been in school at the time of application, or have already graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, or have obtained a general educational development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard or the U.S. Armed Forces; and (8) not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
