Hello. Here is the background Information. My parents came to US and filed for asylum (application listed only my parents). The asylum was approved and granted. I then came to the US lawfully under my parents asylum relative petition. When we went to apply for green card, the officer found minor inconsistencies with the initial asylum and decided to terminate it. My parents were given a notice to appear (court date is in 2019). When it got terminated, I feared I will get depoetrd so I applied and got approved for DACA. I want to marry my US citizen fiancee next year. Will my parents asylum case get in the way of my Adjustment of Status once I marry? Again, I cam here at 9 yrs old as a Derivative on a relative asylum petition filed by my parents. Please help!

A grant of deferred action is temporary and does not provide a path to lawful permanent resident status or U.S. citizenship. However, a person granted deferred action is considered by the federal government to be lawfully present in the U.S. for as long as the grant of deferred action is in effect.
