On December 7, 2020 USCIS announced they will be accepting new DACA applications.

For years, this has been the great news many dreamers have been waiting for. If you believe you may qualify, do not waste any time and contact us today for a free consultation. Below are general requirements for DACA. However, immigration is a complicated area of law. You should contact us for your free consultation to determine your eligibility.

General.

Must be 15 years old at the time of filing, unless currently in removal proceedings or have a final removal or voluntary departure order. You must meet the following requirements:

Criminal bars.

You will not be considered for DACA if you have been convicted of: (1) A felony offense; (2) significant misdemeanor offense; or (3) three or more other misdemeanor offenses  not occurring on the same date and not arising out of the same act, omission, or scheme of misconduct

Continuous residence.

Brief, casual and innocent travel outside the U.S. before Aug. 15, 2012 will not interrupt continuous residence. Any travel outside the United States after Aug. 15, 2012, and before we decide your request for DACA, will break continuous residence.
