DACA has been expanded!
Looking for A Specific Post? Search Below
On November 20, 2014, President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security expanded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. There are a number of very positive changes, including the following:
– The period for which DACA and the accompanying work permit is granted will be extended to three-year increments, rather than two years. Beginning on November 24, 2014, the Immigration Service will begin to issue work permits valid for three years.
– The age cap will be removed. Previously, only those people who were under 31 on the date of the announcement could apply. Now, there will be no upper age limit, provided the person entered the United States before the age of 16.
– The required date-of-entry will be changed. Previously, a person had to have entered the United States prior to June 15, 2007. Now, a person must have entered (under the age of 16) prior to January 1, 2010.
The Immigration Service is NOT YET accepting applications for this program. The Secretary of Homeland Security has given the Service 90 days to begin accepting application.
Please note that the above are not all of the requirements for DACA, but only a few of the changes. Please schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys to learn if you are eligible!

Justin is an exceptional immigration lawyer, and his staff runs the law firm with professionalism. I am a very satisfied client, and thanks to Justin's commitment and expertise, my son successfully won his case. I am truly grateful for everything he has done for my son. Highly recommended
I saw Justin Burton today and I was impressed with his professionalism and ability to get me to feel positive, after several other attorneys made me feel negative and got me to believe it will never be possible to get my Greencard. Looking forward to getting the results I was told!!
I met with attorney Matthew and he was great, we didn't feel rushed and he explained everything in detail, parking wasn't the best I parked in a parking garage for an hour $39.00 definitely better to take public transportation.
When I first came to Kevin, my case had been stuck in limbo for over 12 long years. I had previously worked with other attorneys who were unable to make any real progress. I was feeling frustrated and hopeless. But Kevin immediately put me at ease with his calm, professional demeanor and confident grasp of the legal issues. He worked diligently to untangle the complex details of my case and…
