I have never heard it be called that.

It was definitely the easiest and cheapest option for us. We were going to go through the consulate process but we had an emergency that stalled it and by the end of our emergency we just decided the AP was the best route for us.

I have seen a lot of DACA recipients who think they can do the AP route on their own and don't realized that they have to have the family petition too.

If he was petitioned in 1999 or 2000, he would not need to do "DACAbally" or a 601A waiver if his family entered without inspection and were petitioned by the brother prior to 2001.

He could adjust status through marriage to you here in the US.

Either way, he doesn't get stuck in Mexico for a few years. He may be thinking of people pre-DACA who married US citizens and had to leave the country to do a waiver. That hasn't been the case for several years.

I suggest you speak to a lawyer, or a few, because there's a lot of confusion. He can, and will, need to renew his DACA work permit every 2 years, but DACA never leads to permanent residency or citizenship. Its also temporary. It could be taken away any moment, although that's unlikely. But he could renew it for 50 years and never get anything more than a work permit. And being petitioned never leads right to citizenship, only residency.

It seems the quickest route is to marry you, you petition him, and he's a permanent resident. Then after 3 years, if you're still married, he can apply for citizenship. Still quicker than waiting 5 years (and it could be more!) for an old petition that he has probably aged out of as a derivative.
