Initial Dreamer DACA applications ARE NOT being accepted EVEN AFTER the US Supreme Court case on DACA.  We will keep you posted on any changes.

RENEWAL APPLICATIONS ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED.

President Obama created a policy whereby some childhood arrivals to the United States will qualify for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Some people also refer to this as the ‘Dream Act’ though it is not the Dream Act. If your application is approved, you will receive a work permit valid for 2 years. Currently, only those who have previously held DACA status are able to apply to renew their status.

• USCIS charges $495 for this application ($410 for the work authorization and $85 for the biometric fee).
• You will need 2 passport style photos, photo identification, and some type of national identity document.
• You have already given the follow proof your initial application and won’t need to do so now unless your DACA status has lapsed for 6 months or more.
