At The Law Office of Iris V. Anderson, we provide guidance and support for individuals seeking Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. DACA offers temporary protection from deportation and access to critical benefits for young undocumented adults brought to the United States as children.
Who Qualifies for DACA?
To be eligible for DACA, you must meet the following criteria:
Entered the U.S. before your 16th birthday.
Be currently enrolled in school, have graduated high school, or hold a GED.
Have continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007.
Were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012.
Have no convictions for certain criminal offenses.
What Does DACA Offer?
Work Authorization: DACA recipients can apply for legal employment in the U.S.
Advance Parole: DACA recipients may apply for advance parole to travel temporarily outside the U.S. for specific purposes, such as education, employment, or humanitarian reasons.
Limitations of DACA
It is important to note that DACA currently does not provide a pathway to U.S. citizenship. However, it offers vital protection and opportunities for eligible young immigrants to build their futures in the U.S.
