US citizen daughter

Your daughter’s being a U. S. citizen born in 2010 will unfortunately not assist you in obtaining immigration benefits where you just arrived in the U. S. 2 months ago. Under the present law, your child could only sponsor you for permanent residence when she turns the age of 21. In addition, you would not appear to qualify under the President’s executive action DAPA program as it does not appear that you have been in the U. S. from January 2010 to the present and you were not in the U. S. (according to your fact situation) on November 20, 2014. (I note that the program has been halted for present by a preliminary injunction by a District Court judge in Texas.)
