California Valedictorian Facing Deportation
June 4, 2008

What are Arthur’s options?
If he evades the law and stays, he would not qualify under the DREAM Act as he has a final deportation order. However, he can benefit from AB-540 and attend UC Davis paying only instate-tuition.
At this point in time, Arthur has not triggered any ban from entering the United States since he is under 18. He can choose to deport to Armenia and apply for a student visa. But the chances of an approval would be slim since he would have to demonstrate strong ties to Armenia and no evidence of staying here indefinately. Definitely not a pretty picture.
At this point, a private bill is the best option for Arthur Mkoyan and family.
