(2) have lived in the United States continuously since before January 1, 2010,
(3) be present in the United States on November 20, 2014,

A person who is approved will be granted deferred action and a work permit valid for three years.
The Immigration Service is NOT YET accepting applications for this program. The Secretary of Homeland Security has given the Service 180 days to begin accepting application.
Please note that the above is not intended as a complete list of all of the requirements for Deferred Action and it does not constitute legal advice. Please schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys to learn if you may be eligible for this new program!
