Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) allows eligible individuals who came to the US as children to receive a renewable 2-year period of deferred action from removal and work authorization.
Renewal Eligibility
Current DACA holders may renew. New initial applications remain subject to ongoing litigation. File renewals 120–150 days before your expiration date.
Texas DACA Litigation
A federal court in Texas has ruled DACA unlawful, but current holders are protected by court order while appeals continue. Consult an immigration attorney for the latest status.
