    DACA Basics

    In 2012, the government announced a new program that can help some people who are here without legal status receive work authorization and protection from deportation. It is called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or “DACA.”

    If you are thinking about applying for DACA, we have some important information and tips we would like to share with you. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation about DACA and we hope to help you better understand your options.

    DACA gives you permission to work in the United States. It also gives you what is called “deferred action.” Deferred action means that the government will choose not to deport a person who is in the United States without any lawful immigration status. DACA is discretionary, which means that immigration officers do not have to approve every DACA case and so you want to prove to them that you deserve it. DACA is currently granted for 2 years and is renewable at the end of those 2 years.
