Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
DACA

Immigration policy allows those that were brought to the US as children and now do not have lawful status to receive a renewable period of deferred deportation and receive a work authorization under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Since December 7, 2020 USCIS has to comply with an order of a United States District Court and:

             – Accept first-time requests for consideration of deferred action under DACA based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017;
             – Accept DACA renewal requests based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017;
             – Accept applications for advance parole documents based on the terms of the DACA policy prior to September 5, 2017;
             – Extend one-year grants of deferred action under DACA to two years; and

Some of the requirements for receiving DACA are:

             – Anyone requesting DACA must have been under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012;

             – The applicant must be at least 15 years or older to request DACA unless the applicant is in removal proceedings or have a removal or voluntary departure order;

              – The applicant cannot have felonies or serious misdemeanor crimes on his records.

Both the initial DACA application and application for work authorization renewal under DACA can be complicated. We can help you to apply for DACA and receive your initial work authorization or extend your current one.
