Deferred action for childhood arrivals offers a chance for legal immigration status and employment to persons who fulfill certain requirements. It began in September 2012 and runs for a period of two years. The first successful applicants will be required to renew their DACA statuses in September 2014 since they will lapse. It is handled under the DHS.
A different form from what was used during initial application is filled when renewing. The department responsible is in the process of releasing new forms. New applicants can use the old forms which are provided online. The forms are available from the website of the relevant department for filling and submission.
Deferred action grants relief at the discretion of DHS. Those eligible are persons in the process of removal proceedings, those with final removal orders or those who have never undergone proceedings of this nature. Beneficiaries are at liberty to apply for employment since they are considered to be legally under the color of the law.
Deferred action status does not guarantee citizenship or lawful permanent residence. The status can be withdrawn or revoked at any time depending on prevailing circumstances. The beneficiaries must have been 31 years and below by June 15th 2012. Those who arrived in US below the age of 16 may also apply.
Successful applicants must have lived in the US since June 15th 2012 in order to be eligible. Absence from US for a brief period does not compromise the chances of legal status. Some excusable reasons include humanitarian work or a brief working trip to another country.
Candidates for this status include persons who escaped security checks and gained entry into US any date before 15th June 2012. A person with an expired lawful status stands a chance. This is an opportunity to have it renewed. Such a person must have landed in the US by 15th June 2012.
Students studying in US colleges and universities are eligible to apply. Those who have already graduated stand a chance to gain lawful immigration status. A person who has attained GED is allowed to apply and has equal chances of approval. Persons honorably discharged from the army or coast guard may apply.
The conditions set for eligibility require legal proof to support your claim. There are biometric background checks and biographic checks that must be completed before the approval of any application. Every applicant must complete and pass these checks to stand any chance.
The DHS considers significant misdemeanor as one issue that may hinder approval of ones application. The length of a jail term does not matter as long as such a person was convicted. Some of the cases include drug abuse and trafficking, driving under influence, sexual exploitation and abuse, burglary, domestic abuse and possession of any firearm.
Applications are made at the USCIS lockbox where the forms are submitted directly. Direct applications are allowed for persons undergoing removal processes while those under detention will require the intervention of detention officers. Application forms are provided free of charge. The cost escalates when one factors employment authorization fees and expenses for biometric tests. Applicants who are exempted from such fees include the disabled, persons under foster care or those with debt-related medical conditions.
