Understanding Deferred Action For Dreamers

By Marissa Velazquez


Deferred action for dreamers is a scheme that seeks to offer immigrants a legal status that allows them to stay in the US for two years. Their stay may be extended upon fulfillment of certain conditions and positive evaluation from authorities. Male and female immigrants have an equal chance of benefiting from this program. It offers such privileges as possession of a driving license in some states and the right to apply and be granted a social security number.

The privileges that come with the DACA status also include the permission to work and get employed in any sector of the economy. It offers freedom for the beneficiaries to travel within and outside America for different reasons. The trip could be related to charity missions, education or for employment purposes. Such travel does not threaten your stay in US. The details about your status must be provided in the travel papers.

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 is not a prelude to securing permanent stay or citizenship. The privileges that are reserved under this status do not cover any other family member, dependent or guardian. They also exclude spouses. Applicants are advised to be careful and accurate with the information they provide because it can be used against them and lead to court action. Applicants should consult the Board of Migration Appeal or specialist attorneys for guidance.

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.

Conditions for eligibility include a mandatory age limit of 15 to 31 years for all applicants. The ages are as recorded on Jan 15th 2012. Applicants are also required to have stayed in US continuously since June 15th, 2012. The possibility of a brief absence cannot be ruled out but it must be explainable. Such an absence does not jeopardize your chances.

An applicant must submit completed forms and relevant documents in person. Agencies and attorneys are not allowed to complete the process on behalf of clients. Eligible persons must prove their presence in US on June 15th 2012. The process allows applicants who went to US without valid documents or approval by immigration offices to formalize their stay. Persons whose legal permits are expired can cease this opportunity.

Deferred action for dreamers accommodates persons who are in America to pursue their academic goals. It covers high school and college graduates. Service men who served diligently and were discharged honorably have a chance to apply and gain extended stay. An eligible candidate must have a clean criminal and civil record that does not make him a threat to national security. This includes damaging misdemeanor or acts that are contrary to the code provided in the DACA status.
