Understand The Deferred Action For Dreamers Program

By Anita Ortega


United States government has offered an opportunity to persons living in America illegally to gain legal status. This is through the deferred action for dreamers program. The immigrants are granted a further two years extension which is renewable. The opportunity is open to men and women on equal basis. Getting the DACA status means that you can acquire a social security number and a driving license.

With the DACA application, everyone has a chance to make his stay legal. It grants you the right to seek employment in any American sector. You can travel within and out of America at will. This opens up opportunities for education trips, employment or charity work. One is only required to register the details of travel with necessary offices. Your work and stay benefits are in the level of a legal residence.

There is a vetting board through which all applications are channeled. The board reserves the right to approve or decline an application. Only individuals who are considered a threat to national security will have their applications declined. All rules guiding the process are communicated during application. This ensures that you are prepared for any resulting eventuality.

DACA does not guarantee successful applicants permanent stay. One can not transfer the benefits accrued through this status to family members. Relatives, friends, guardians and dependents cannot benefit because of your successful application. Consulting an expert in immigration during application ensures that you give the correct details to avoid legal action. Necessary information on application may be obtained from the Board of Migration Appeal.

Information given by some agencies might not be accurate. This exposes you to the danger of being misled. The level of experience and credibility of your agency contributes to the success of your application. A specialist attorney or professional is at a better position to offer advice. There are charity organizations whose credibility is not questionable. They have assisted numerous applicants.

The eligibility bar is low and allows a lot of people to qualify. An applicant must have been above 15 years and below 31 on January 15th 2012. It is also open to persons who went to US before their 16th birthday. A successful applicant must have stayed in US since 2007, June 16th without any interruption. It is acceptable to have a reasonable brief absence.

For one to qualify, he must have been in US on 15th June 2012. The application is only valid if submitted in person. Any submission in absentia is not regarded as valid. The plan aims at providing a legal basis to persons who evaded immigration scrutiny before June 15th 2012. A person with an expired work permit is eligible to apply.

Immigrants who went to US to study and have completed their courses may apply to stay. Service men who have been discharged honorably from the army are eligible. High school graduates are also eligible. It is a strict requirement to be free of felony charges, misdemeanor or criminal record to ensure qualification.
