DACA
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that provides temporary relief from deportation and work authorization to certain undocumented individuals who came to the United States as children. Note: The DACA program’s future is uncertain due to ongoing legal challenges. Consult an immigration attorney for the latest information.
Process Overview:
- DACA Request Submission: Eligible individuals submit Form I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, along with supporting documentation to USCIS.
- Biometrics Appointment: USCIS may schedule the applicant for a biometrics appointment (fingerprints, photographs, and signatures) for background checks.
- Adjudication of DACA Request: USCIS reviews the request and determines eligibility. If approved, the applicant receives deferred action (temporary protection from deportation) and can apply for work authorization.
- Renewal of DACA Status: DACA recipients may apply to renew their status every two years, provided they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
