Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a policy issued on June 15, 2012, that benefits younger foreign nationals who entered the United States as children. Approved applicants will receive an employment authorization document good for two years as well as two years of deferral of any action by the federal government against them.
To qualify:
- You must have entered the United States before your 16th birthday;
- Be under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012;
- Been present in the United States from June 15, 2007 to June 15, 2012;
- Possess a high school diploma or GED certificate or be enrolled in an educational program;
- Not have a conviction for a significant misdemeanor or a felony.
Most applications get approved within 90 days.
Most states will allow those granted deferred action to apply for a drivers license.
