DACA Renewal - Update from USCIS

On April 9, 2014, USCIS updated information relating to renewals of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The update emphasizes that to renew DACA and Employment Authorization document (EAD), applicants will have to wait until the new I-821D form is released in late May 2014. USCIS recommends that renewal applications be filed around 120 days prior to the expiration of the current DACA status and EAD. In no case should the application be filed more than 150 days prior to the expiration date. USCIS also provides a glimpse as to what documentation will be required, stating that applicants will need to submit only documents pertaining to removal proceedings or criminal history not previously submitted. (Note that there will certainly be other documents that must be submitted, such as filing fees, copies of EADs, etc.). To view USCIS update, click HERE.

If you would like more information or are looking for assistance with your DACA (whether initial or a renewal), contact our office through e-mail or at (512) 476-7163.
