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 power to grant DACA status remains with the government and they can withdraw such powers in future. Applications that have been declined reversible on appeal. Applicants are required to stick to the proscribed code of conduct. Their activities and conduct must not be considered a threat to national security. These rules are clarified during approval.

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.

Immigration agencies are better placed to guide you through the application process. There are non governmental organizations that support applicants through the process. They ensure accuracy and timely application. The possibility of a smooth process is enhanced by the support of experienced attorneys or officials. They will not compromise your current status through inaccurate representation.

The conditions of application are favorable to different categories of people. The age limits for applicants are between 15 and 31 years. This age must have been attained by January 15th 2012. The program also covers persons who went to the USA before they attained 15 years of age. Applicants are required to have stayed in the US for an uninterrupted period from June 15 2012 to date. A brief and explainable absence is understandable and cannot be used against you during deliberations for approval.

Agents or attorneys cannot submit the application forms on your behalf. The law requires that the application and submission be done in person. Additional requirements include presence in US on 15th June 2012. The scheme accommodates persons who entered America without immigration scrutiny or valid documents. This is their chance to formalize their stay. Those who had temporally permits but they have expired have a chance to get new status.

Deferred action for dreamers also recognized immigrants who are in US to pursue education. High school graduates are eligible to apply and so are service men discharged from the forces honorably. Successful applicants must have a clean civil and criminal record. This means absence of major demeanor or threat to public safety.
