Understanding Deferred Action For Dreamers

By Marissa Velazquez


Deferred action for dreamers is a government plan that seeks to offer a chance to immigrants in American to formalize their stay. They get a legal status that affords them the privilege to live and work in the US for a period of two years. The period is renewable if they abide by the code of conduct provided. They also enjoy such privileges as the right to own a driving license and enlist in social security schemes.

Successful applicants are given legal permits to stay and work in USA. They are at liberty to apply for employment and work in all sectors of the economy. This is extended to cover work and leisure related travels. This means official and private trips abroad without losing their privileges. Beneficiaries must indicate their status on the travel documents they use on their trips. They have the freedom to travel for education purposes and charity works.

The department of immigration holds the right to approve or decline any application on their own terms. The withdrawal of such a status can only happen in the event that the applicant violates the code of conduct provided. Involvement in activities that are considered a threat to public security could lead to a recall of your status. Unsuccessful applicants can petition the board to reconsider its decision.

DACA does not guarantee automatic citizenship or permanent stay. The benefits secured under this status cannot be extended to relatives, guardians, spouses or dependents. Accuracy and selectivity are important when filling the forms. This will ensure that you are not prosecuted for wrongful information. It can be used as evidence in court. Consulting an immigration expert or seeking clarification for the Board of Migration appeal is advised.

There are agencies and non governmental organizations that offer support in this area. This is a sure way to get accurate and timely information that will lead to a successful application. Seasoned attorneys will not mislead you or land you in trouble through inaccuracy. Your current stay is secure when dealing with the right agents.

Application demands vary and are designed to accommodate different classes of people. The age limits provided for eligible applicants is between 15 and 31 years. The applicant should have attained the age by Jan 15, 2012. It is mandatory to have continuously stayed in US since 15th June 2012. An explainable brief absence does not jeopardize your chances of being granted the DACA status. The reason for absence should be reasonably understood by the deliberating panel.

The application forms must be filled and submitted by the beneficiary and not attorneys or agencies. The applicant should provide evidence that he or she was in the US on June 15th 2012. Other eligible persons include those whose temporary permits have expired. They can acquire another status through the DACA scheme. Immigrants who went to US illegally without the scrutiny of immigration officials or valid document are eligible to apply.

Deferred action for dreamers is accommodating to immigrants who went to pursue education in the US. They include high school graduates and above. Service men discharged from any of the forces in an honorable way are eligible to apply and be granted DACA status. Thorough scrutiny of civil and criminal records must give a clean report. The applicant must not have been accused of a major misdemeanor or an act that makes him a threat to public safety.
