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 government retains the authority to approve and decline any application. A successful applicant can have his status withdrawn if he violates any of the codes that come with the status. Unsuccessful applicants can appeal with the possibility of reversal. The activities of beneficiaries are closely monitored to avoid breach of rules that are communicated during application.

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.

There are agencies and non governmental organizations that offer support in this area. This is a sure way to get accurate and timely information that will lead to a successful application. Seasoned attorneys will not mislead you or land you in trouble through inaccuracy. Your current stay is secure when dealing with the right agents.

Application demands vary and are designed to accommodate different classes of people. The age limits provided for eligible applicants is between 15 and 31 years. The applicant should have attained the age by Jan 15, 2012. It is mandatory to have continuously stayed in US since 15th June 2012. An explainable brief absence does not jeopardize your chances of being granted the DACA status. The reason for absence should be reasonably understood by the deliberating panel.

The application forms must be filled and submitted by the beneficiary and not attorneys or agencies. The applicant should provide evidence that he or she was in the US on June 15th 2012. Other eligible persons include those whose temporary permits have expired. They can acquire another status through the DACA scheme. Immigrants who went to US illegally without the scrutiny of immigration officials or valid document are eligible to apply.

Deferred action for dreamers is accommodating to immigrants who went to pursue education in the US. They include high school graduates and above. Service men discharged from any of the forces in an honorable way are eligible to apply and be granted DACA status. Thorough scrutiny of civil and criminal records must give a clean report. The applicant must not have been accused of a major misdemeanor or an act that makes him a threat to public safety.
