For many Dreamers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has been a lifeline. It has allowed them to work, drive, and pursue higher education without fear of deportation. If you are a DACA recipient, you may be wondering how long your status will last, if it can be renewed, and what to do if it is revoked. In this blog post, we will shed light on these questions and discuss how an attorney can provide legal assistance to DACA recipients, specifically in Florida.
DACA status lasts for two years, after which it must be renewed. If you fail to renew your DACA status, you will lose your work authorization, and may become subject to deportation. It is important to file for a DACA renewal within the 150 to 120-day period before your current DACA expires. Filing outside of this time frame may result in a lapse in your DACA status. The expiration date on your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) also provides you with an easy-to-understand visual cue regarding the validity of your DACA status.
Yes, DACA status can be renewed. To renew, you must complete the same DACA application process that you did when you first applied. This includes filling out the requisite forms and providing any supporting documentation that may be needed. It is important to ensure that all of your information is up-to-date, including your current address, employment status, and any criminal history.
The most significant change to the DACA program came in 2017 when the Trump administration announced that it would end the program. Subsequent legal challenges have kept the program going, but there remains a risk that DACA could be eliminated or significantly changed at any time. Additionally, anyone found to have committed a serious crime could face revocation of their DACA status. As with any legal process or benefit, it is important to keep abreast of any developments regarding the DACA program.
An attorney can be an invaluable resource for DACA recipients. From the initial application process to renewal applications, an experienced immigration law attorney can guide you through the process, ensuring all necessary documents are filed accurately and in a timely manner.
