Recent government notices and court cases regarding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have created confusion about who can apply, when they should apply, and how they should apply for DACA.
El 16 de julio de este año, el Tribunal de Distrito de Estados Unidos para el Distrito del Sur de Texas, decidió declarar DACA como “ilegal”. De esta forma el memorándum de DACA del 15 de junio de 2012 fue revocado.
Despite this, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will continue to accept the completion of initial and renewal DACA applications, as well as applications for employment authorization. However, the department is prohibited from accepting applications, so they will remain pending until the situation is fixed.
In this way, DHS can accept and grant DACA renewal requests.
Acceso Latino has a tool in its Legal Orientation section, where you can find information, resources and necessary support according to your immigration situation.
In our tool, you will find the “Frequently Asked Questions about DACA” card in which you will find advice on the latest in DACA, as well as the answers to the most frequent questions about this program, such as:
- When can I submit my DACA renewal application?
- How long are DACA application approvals taking?
- Can I travel abroad under the travel permit with my DACA?
- What should I do if I have an encounter with immigration officials?
Like dreamers and DACA recipients, any migrant person can find help with legal material at Acceso Latino, your first immigration consultation window.
