Understand Deferred Action For Dreamers

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.

A vetting process has been established to scrutinize the applications made under DACA program. The conditions for revocation depend on the judgment by the government concerning national security. A successful applicant who becomes a threat to national security may have his status withdrawn. The rules provided by the government must be respected and adhered to. These rules will be communicated during application.

Success in DACA application does not guarantee automatic permanent stay in future. The plan does not allow beneficiaries to transfer their rights to third parties. This means that guardians, dependents, relatives and friends cannot enjoy rights through your success. Everyone must apply independently. Giving the wrong information is likely to land you in court. This calls for the services of an experienced immigration expert or attorney to guide you through the process. The Board of Migration Appeal also plays a part in approval and declining of applications.

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.

Eligibility conditions are wide and flexible to accommodate a large number of people. Applicants must not have attained the age of 31 by Jan 15 2012. The applicant must have attained the age of 15 years by the time of application. Immigrants who went to the US below the age of 16 are considered during short listing. An applicant must provide proof that he or she has been in US continuously since 16th June 2007. Persons who were briefly out of America can justify their absence and still qualify.

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.
