Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) offers temporary protection from deportation and provides work authorization for individuals who came to the United States as children. It is a vital program that allows thousands of young people to pursue education, employment, and a secure future.
Applying for DACA or renewing an existing status requires attention to detail and timely submission. Renewals must generally be filed 120 to 150 days before expiration, ensuring there is no gap in protection or work authorization. Applicants need to submit the required forms , supporting documents, and filing fees. Missing documents or filing late may result in delays or denials.
First-time applications and renewals both require proof of continuous residence, identity, and good moral character. USCIS carefully reviews these applications, and having professional legal assistance increases the chances of success.
At The Law Office of Regina Y. Kane, we guide clients through each step of the DACA process. With over 20 years of experience in immigration law and the advantage of having a former USCIS adjudicator’s insight, we help ensure forms are filed accurately and on time, giving clients peace of mind.
