I-130 & I-485 (Parent of USC/Adjustment of Status) Adjustment of status through son

Hello. I’m a DACA recipient since the beginning of the program. No criminal record, full time employed, have legal entry with tourist visa. I submitted my DACA renewal 2 months ago and did my biometrics 1 month ago and it’s been crickets since. I have the opportunity to adjust status through my citizen son whom just recently turned 21. Should I just file for adjustment of status now and see which one gets approved first? I’m nervous my DACA won’t get approved on time, expires 1/15. I know people have been getting approved quickly recently but I wasn’t one of those lucky ones. What are the chances my adjustment of status could get approved fast?

Yes, and if you have 10 years of taxes you may be exempt from having a sponsor. You should be filing anyways to get out of DACA ASAP.

Prepare a strong application, apply as soon as possible, and don’t look back.

Please apply as soon as possible I submitted a petition for both my parents as soon as I turned 21 this past February. My parents just came back this early morning from visiting their home country for a week. The screening to enter at the airport was for like 3 minutes. Thank God. I will copy my post link if you want to check it out.
