My daughter (30 years old) is been in the US since 8/2/97. Her priority date is 8/15/1994. Does she qualify for any programs to get a temporary permit now? I am a permanent resident.
Whether approved or not, the answer is the same.

Thank you for your help. She is desperate.
Most likely CSPA does not apply to her. Her petition was most likely to have been approved much earlier than CSPA was signed into law.
Most likely, the petition was approved before August 6, 2002.-- First, determine whether the CSPA applies. Under the
revised guidance, the CSPA may apply to any case involving
a petition approved on or after August 6, 2002. The CSPA
may also apply to certain cases involving petitions
approved before August 6, 2002, but only if either:
(a) the alien aged out on or after August 6, 2002, or
(b) the alien aged out before that date but had applied
for a visa before aging out and was refused under 221(g).
If the petition was approved before August 6, 2002 and the
alien aged out before that date and failed to apply before
aging out (or applied after aging out and was denied on
that basis), then the CSPA would not apply. If the alien
applied before August 6, 2002 and was refused on any
ground other than 221(g), the case must be submitted for
an advisory opinion.
I also suspect she is out of status or her priority date is not current, and that is why and cannot submit I-485.
And I think she is in fact a Mexican. That is why she has not submitted I-485 yet.The priority date is almost certainly current, unless she is Mexican,
Yes, that is true.and being out of status doesn't matter in her case. She clearly is eligible for 245i relief
