What is DACA?

DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was created in 2012 to provide temporary deportation relief and work authorization for certain undocumented individuals who arrived in the United States as children. These individuals, often referred to as "Dreamers," could previously renew their DACA status.

Renewal Periods:

Renewals were typically required every two years, with USCIS providing specific windows for submitting applications. Be help by us about DACA renewal to know more.

Continuous Presence:

Applicants needed to demonstrate continuous residence in the United States since their last DACA approval. Significant breaks in residence could affect eligibility.

New Applications:

As of this writing, new DACA applications are not being accepted. However, it’s crucial to check USCIS for any updates as this situation may change.

Work Authorization:

Approved renewals granted recipients work authorization, allowing them to legally work in the United States.

Application Process:

The process involved submitting specific forms, supporting documentation, and fees to USCIS. It was recommended to start well before the current DACA status expired to avoid gaps.

Legal Assistance:

Many DACA recipients sought legal help from immigration attorneys or accredited representatives to navigate the renewal process effectively.
