DACA Renewals
We assist with completing and submitting your DACA renewal application to ensure timely processing and avoid gaps in status.
DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is an immigration program that protects certain immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. Dreamers are individuals who meet the DACA criteria — including arriving before age 16, continuous residence in the USA since at least June 15, 2007, and high school education or military service requirements.
DACA does not currently provide a direct path to citizenship. However, some Dreamers may qualify for legal permanent residency through marriage, family sponsorship, or other immigration relief — which could eventually lead to naturalization.
As of now, DACA renewals are allowed, but new applications are on hold due to ongoing litigation in the courts over the legality of the DACA program. USCIS will adjudicate renewal requests from existing recipients, but first-time applications are not being processed. It’s important to consult with an immigration attorney for the latest updates.
DACA provides protection from deportation and allows recipients to apply for a work permit (EAD) with validity for two years. It also opens access to social security numbers, driver’s licenses (in many states), and educational opportunities — but it is not a legal immigration status.
