<p>So in the common app, it says that DACA students so select "Other Visa Type", so what is the other visa type that DACA students have?</p>
<p>bumppppppppppp</p>
<p>I don’t believe that DACA gives someone visa status. Unlike other visas, you cannot change your visa status with DACA and you don’t have a path to citizenship. DACA is just an executive program that offers relief for young undocumented immigrants. It does not provide legal status. I think you are supposed to put down that you currently do not hold a valid visa. Do you have the source where you got this information. Anyway I wish you earnest good luck and if you have any questions about being an undocumented student applying to college, then don’t hesitate to PM me.</p>
<p>Common app says this :Applicants who are currently in the DACA Status (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) will need to select “Other” for your citizenship status. List your citizenship and select “Other Visa Type” from the Currently held United States visa" selection. Since deferred action does not provide an individual with lawful status please complete the rest of the fields.
Now I have an expired visa so I can’t complete the required “date issued part” I’m very confused as to why common app is asking this</p>
<p>Did you get it cleared up?</p>
<p>Yea thanks guys! I actually put down PRUCOL for visa type, which stands for Person Residing Under Color of Law and believe that was supposed to work like that. My father asked a lawyer about it</p>
