Can i become a parole officer without legal documents?

Question

i just enrolled in a community college and decided to major in criminal justice. i am an immigrant without legal documents. do you guys think i should stick with this major or try for something that fits my situation?

Answer 1

1.To get a job like that you will need a social security number.

2.You will have to undergo a criminal background check which will blow your cover right out of the water and ultimately get you deported.

3.This is not a low profile field. In your case you need to stay under the radar.

4.Unless you are getting a green card before you graduate,I would find another major.

Answer 2

Colleges are required to determine legal presence. A form I-20 is required if one does not have a US birth certificate or US passport. This requires establishing legal presence...... with documents. Even if you manage to take some classes this issue will raise it's head at some point. Legally they are not allowed to grant a degree. The laws have tightened.

Even if you got that far when you applied to be a parole officer they will do a background check. You would just have handed over evidence that you have been in the US illegally.

Sure the best thing would be for you to go home before you happen to face never coming back. But if you do stay pick a major that can be used in your home country.

Answer 3

I think you should stay in school, and finish the major and possiblly double-major afterwards.  Get a master's if need be.

I'm sure that the DREAM Act will pass next year, with much more Democrats in office ))

Answer 4

You are not an "immigrant" since you never applied and was approved for immigration.  You are an illegal alien.  And since you do not have a proper student visa either, you cannot get a degree.  Criminals cannot become probation officers -- you have committed multiple felonies. You must return to your own country.  You cannot go to community college, cannot get a degree, and cannot get a job.

If your parents had brought you here illegally as a child, you could have returned home before turning 18 (or immediately upon graduating from high school).  After staying in your own country for at least a year, you could apply for immigration without being penalized for your parents' illegal acts.  If you go home right away, you might still be able to apply for immigration after a few years in your home country, if you are otherwise qualified for immigration.

It is too late now to blame your parents for their actions (if they brought you in).  Once you turn 18, if you remain illegally, you chose to violate the law as an adult, and that will prevent you from immigrating in the future unless you hurry home.
