Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, is a federal policy that provides deferred action for certain individuals that illegally arrived in the United States as children. While it is not a path to citizenship, it provides deferred action on a person’s illegal status for two years, is renewable, and also provides a person with work authorization and allows them to live within the mainstream economy. The program represents a federal policy that immigration enforcement efforts are best directed at pursuing adult individuals that pose a threat to public safety or national security rather than people who arrived in the United States as children.
Obtaining DACA status can have a significant and positive impact on a person’s quality of life within the United States. For this reason, anyone who is eligible should be sure to apply. Information about DACA eligibility is detailed below. For specific information regarding your case, call Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC today for assistance.
There are many requirements that individuals must meet in order to be eligible for consideration for deferred action. In order to request DACA status, the following must be true regarding an applicant:
While these requirements may seem straightforward, establishing these facts may be difficult, especially for people who have lived as undocumented immigrants (as DACA applicants, by definition, have). For this reason, it is important for people who are seeking DACA status to talk to an attorney. An experienced attorney familiar with immigration law will be able to determine your eligibility, collect documentation in support of your position, fill out the necessary paperwork, and advocate on your behalf with the immigration officials who will ultimately make a decision regarding your case.
Anyone that is considering applying for DACA should consult with an attorney as soon as possible. In many cases, an attorney can help prospective applicants avoid potential problems with their application and ensure that they obtain the best possible outcome to their case.
