Frustrated that I didn't make career moves sooner because of my temporary status (DACA). I just received my permanent residency and don't know how to explain to recruiters or hiring managers that I had limited options before my petition went through, and that's why I'm making the shift now.

Why not explain it to recruiters/hiring managers exactly the way you explained it here?

like

#1 Recruiters/Hiring Managers like that are sh*t and aren't worth your time
#2 Think of how to explain whatever you need to explain in "creative" ways - not lie, exactly, but come up with something plausible that wouldn't get questioned too much. Something to do with volunteeting, maybe?
