Can I apply for a flight attendant job in the U.S.? (DACA)
Anonymous7 views4 answers
Greetings,
I am 23 year olds, I was granted DACA on December 2013, due for renewal in a few short months (expires December 2015). I am currently enrolled as a part time student at a community college near by while working a full time office job. I have always dreamed of being a flight attendant. I am aware I cannot travel outside the U.S., that is why I was looking into just being a domestic flight attendant. However, on the application it states: "Must be authorized to work in the US., Must be willing & able to fly both International & Domestic routes" Would I be able to apply for Advance Parole for work purposes JUST in case I am ever assigned an international route for work? What are the chances of being able to return back to the U.S. IF AP is approved and I fly out for work?
To secure advanced parole for DACA the burden is on you to show the travel is needed for humanitarian, education or employment purposes. It is also necessary to be aware that even with Advanced parole the alien on DACA is in no way guaranteed entry back into the US as the CBP agent could determine the alien is not admissible.

Based upon the information provided you would need advance parole to qualify. Advance parole is granted to DACA recipients for humanitarian, educational or emoyment reasons. Advance pate does not guarantee you would be allowed back in the country.
In order to be granted advance parole, you must demonstrate that advance parole is necessary for employment, education, or humanitarian reasons. If you do end up getting the flight attendant job, you might be able to get advance parole, but it will be very difficult, and even if you do get it, there is still no guarantee you would be let back into the country if CBP determines you are inadmissible. Unfortunately, my guess is most airlines would be hesitant to hire someone who can't freely travel in and out of the country, sorry.
