Requirements for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA – Dreamer Work Permit)

August 15, 2012/in Dreamer Work Permit /by admin

Click Here to read Ranchod Law.com Content in Spanish
As of August 15, 2012, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting requests for consideration for deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA). An individual should submit a request with a form requesting an employment authorization document. Forms and instructions will be available on the USCIS website on August 15 here. There is a $465 filing fee per person. USCIS requires that an individual filing for deferred action submit evidence showing the individual:

  • was born after June 15, 1981;
  • arrived in the United States before the age of 16;
  • has continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007 up to the present time;
  • was present in the United States on June 15, 2012;
  • entered without inspection before June 15, 2012, or the individual’s lawful immigration status expired as of June 15, 2012;
  • is currently in school, has graduated or received a certificate of completion from high school, obtained a general educational development certificate (GED), or is an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Coast Guard or Armed Forces;
  • and is at least 15 years of age at the time of filing, if the individual has never been the subject of a removal proceeding and the individual’s case was not terminated before this request.

An individual can request deferred action if he or she is currently in removal proceedings, has been issued a final removal order, or has a voluntary departure order. An individual does not need to be 15 years of age or older to be considered if any of the above are true. An individual should submit a copy of the removal order or any document issued by the immigration judge or final decision from the BIA Appeals (BIA). An individual who is in immigration detention cannot request deferred action.

If an individual has left the United States for a short period of time, USCIS may consider the absence “brief, casual, and innocent.” Such an absence is not deemed to interrupt the requirement of having continuous residence in the United States since June 15, 2007. USCIS has particular requirements for these types of absences. Please read the USCIS information sheet to learn more.

USCIS will conduct a biographic and biometric background check of all individuals who apply for deferred action. Each individual is considered on a case-by-case basis. An individual will be rejected if he or she has been convicted of any felony, a significant misdemeanor offense, three or more misdemeanor offenses not occurring on the same date and not arising out of the same act, or if he or she is deemed to pose a threat to national security or public safety.

USCIS currently does not offer an appeal or motion to reconsider the denial of a request. If a request is granted, the individual in question will not be placed into Removal Proceedings or removed from the United States for two years. An individual whose request has been granted may request an extension of both deferred action and employment authorization after two years.
