DACA

Protection for Dreamers

DACA: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

DACA protects certain undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children ("Dreamers") from deportation and provides a renewable two-year work permit. USCIS is not processing new initial applications, but renewals continue, though with delays. This area of law is evolving -- call for a current case assessment.

The Original 2012 Criteria

Who Qualifies

To qualify, applicants generally must have arrived in the U.S. before age 16, lived here continuously since June 15, 2007, been under 31 as of June 15, 2012, and be in school, have a diploma or GED, or have served in the military, with no disqualifying criminal history. These criteria still govern renewals today.

An Evolving Area of Law

Current Legal Status

In January 2025, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld nationwide protection from deportation for DACA recipients, but left the status of DACA work permits in Texas pending an implementation order from Judge Hanen that has not yet been issued. Texas has also restricted some state licenses for DACA recipients.
