Eligibility For Deferred Action For Dreamers

By Marissa Velazquez


The American government introduced Deferred Action for Dreamers to offer legal status to immigrants in US for a period of two years. The two years are renewable and accord the beneficiary privileges to own a driving license as well as apply and be granted a social security number. Renewal depends on how well the applicant abides by the rules.

Successful applicants are given legal permits to stay and work in USA. They are at liberty to apply for employment and work in all sectors of the economy. This is extended to cover work and leisure related travels. This means official and private trips abroad without losing their privileges. Beneficiaries must indicate their status on the travel documents they use on their trips. They have the freedom to travel for education purposes and charity works.

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 A successful applicant can have his status withdrawn if he violates any of the codes that come with the status.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 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.

There are dedicated immigration agencies that assist through the process of application. Other non governmental organizations support applicants through the processes. They ensure that you give accurate information that will favor your application. Experience and expertise are vital when dealing with immigration issues.

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.

Agents or attorneys cannot submit the application forms on your behalf. The law requires that the application and submission be done in person. Additional requirements include presence in US on 15th June 2012. The scheme accommodates persons who entered America without immigration scrutiny or valid documents. This is their chance to formalize their stay. Those who had temporally permits but they have expired have a chance to get new status.

Deferred action for dreamers also recognized immigrants who are in US to pursue education. High school graduates are eligible to apply and so are service men discharged from the forces honorably. Successful applicants must have a clean civil and criminal record. This means absence of major demeanor or threat to public safety.
