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!

A family friend referred me to work with Maya Flores at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC to help me with my U.S. naturalization. Despite the current immigration tension, Maya helped make the process smooth and her familiarity with procedure helped ease my anxiety.

I really want to thank Justin and Kamila; they are the best. I waited almost 20 years and no one could help me get my green card and in 4 months they helped me get my permit, and I got my green card in less then 4 months. They are the best. I will always be grateful for what they did for me, thank you Justin and Kamila!!!!
