DACA and Video Games

Here’s an interesting story, that was picked up by the Wall Street Journal (here), about how a DACA applicant, José Munoz, and his lawyer, Davorin Odrcic, successfully proved that the applicant has continuously resided in the U.S. since 2007: copies of receipts for X-Box video games that were purchased since 2006.

José was only a year old when he and his family arrived in the U.S. using a tourist visa. They overstayed. He has lived in the U.S. ever since. He graduated with honors from high school in 2005 and subsequently enrolled in college (but later dropped out). Like many Americans, José played video games during his free time. Alot of it. Importantly, his purchases of X-Box 360 video games since 2006 provided the proof that he needed to show that he has been living in the U.S. continuously since June 15, 2007 (requirement under DACA).
