Understanding Deferred Action For Dreamers

By Marissa Velazquez


Deferred action for dreamers is a program that allows beneficiaries to live and work in US for a two year period that is renewable. Renewal of the stay permit depends how well the applicant has fulfilled the conditions set. It is an opportunity offered to both men and women. Some of the benefits enjoyed under this program include access to a driving license and a social security number.

Beneficiaries of the DACA program have a lawful permit to stay in the USA. They can seek employment from American firms since they have been granted work permits. The status also allows them travel in and out to US on private and work related missions. Such details must be recorded on their application papers. They may relate to charity, education or employment.

Authority holds the right to approve or deny a DACA status. They also may revoke a status or approve your application on appeal. They have a responsibility to protect national security. Any activity that compromises national security becomes a basis for cancellation. The rules are clearly communicated during approval process.

Successful applicants are not guaranteed permanent stay because of DACA. DACA benefits cannot be extended to other family members. This means that your status cannot be shared with relatives, family members or guardians. Some of the details provided during applicant are likely to alert the government and cause authorities to take legal action. It is therefore important to consult an experienced immigration attorney or the Board of Migration Appeal.

Assistance can be sort from a number of organizations and agencies that deal with immigration matters. Only authentic and accurate information will allow your application to go through. Seasoned attorneys give you an upper hand when you apply. They will guide you as you apply. This ensures that you do not risk your stay or place yourself in an awkward position.

Eligibility depends on a combination of factors. One must have been less than 31 years of age by January 15th 2012. The lower age limit for an applicant is 15 years. A person who migrated to the US before he or she turned 16 years is also eligible. Continuous stay in the US from June 15th 2007 to present will make a person eligible. An innocent, casual and brief absence during this time can be justified and considered as continued presence.

Successful applicants must have been in US on June 15th 2012. An application cannot be submitted on your behave or in absentia. People who landed in the USA without undergoing immigration checkup before June 15th 2012 are eligible to apply. Other persons who can be considered include those whose immigration permits have expired.

Deferred Action for Dreamers also offers a chance to persons who are in the US to pursue different academic goals. Honorably discharged service men can apply to remain in US. High school graduates are also eligible for consideration. Any applicant must have his records cross checked to ensure that he is free from major misdemeanors or criminal records. The aim is to enhance public safety.
