Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

My case scenario is the following: I was detained by border patrol and police in April 2015, I was sent to the ICE detention center in Calexico. I was released from there a month later, May 2015, with a bond. Now, my next court hearing is in June 2017. My question is, is there any way that I can obtain a working permit while I wait for my next court hearing? I am 31 years old, single, no kids, and none of my relatives are permanent residents or citizens for the exception of an uncle. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

You might be able to qualify for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). If so, this would provide you with a work permit while you remain in the US.

Without more information on your immigration history, your family history and your criminal history (or lack thereof), it is hard to determine if you are eligible for any work authorization or other immigration benefit. Please contact a lawyer and discuss your matter fully with him/her. You may also want to hire a lawyer now for your 2017 hearing (and the entire case so that you have one central point of contact for questions and a legal representative in your corner for your entire case.
