DACA Renewal

Beat the Expiration Deadline

Renewing your DACA on time is crucial for protecting you from deportation and being able to work legally in the U.S. Our legal team is here to make the renewal process smooth and stress-free. We help you stay on track, avoid delays, and protect what you’ve worked hard to build.

What is DACA?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that protects certain undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from being deported. While DACA does not provide permanent legal status, it offers important benefits—including protection from deportation and a work permit (EAD).

DACA Renewal Requirements

You must meet all of the following to be eligible for renewal:

You currently have DACA status
You have not left the U.S. without Advance Parole since your last DACA approval
You have lived continuously in the U.S. since your most recent DACA was approved
You have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors
You are not a threat to public safety or national security

To keep your DACA current, we recommend applying 120-150 days before the expiration date.

Other Applications to Consider

Other benefits you may qualify for or want to think about include:

Advance Parole – Travel outside the U.S. and return legally with peace of mind, and this benefit may help you qualify for a green card later
Work Permit (EAD) – When you renew DACA, you can also renew your work permit (EAD) because the two are tied together
Other Immigration Options – While DACA is temporary, you may want to explore and might qualify for something like:

- A green card through a family member
- A U visa or T visa (if you’ve been a victim of crime or trafficking)
- Asylum or temporary protected status
- Special immigrant juvenile status (for certain undocumented youth under age 21)

How We Help

Our legal team helps you renew your DACA safely and successfully by:

Reviewing Eligibility

By reviewing your current immigration status, age, and criminal history (if any), we'll confirm whether you still qualify

Preparing & Submitting the Application

We’ll help gather the right forms and documents, ensuring they’re completed correctly and submitted on time to avoid delays or denials

Reviewing Legal Risks

If your situation has changed (like an arrest, travel abroad, or new immigration issues), we can help you understand the impact and how to proceed

Tracking Your Case & Following Up

We monitor your case, help respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), and advocate for you if there’s a delay or problem

Exploring Long-Term Options

Since DACA is temporary, we can help you look into other immigration paths that could lead to a green card or citizenship

Why Legal Assistance Matters

Renewing your DACA may seem straightforward, but even minor mistakes can lead to delays, rejections, or a loss of protection. Having legal help ensures your renewal is accurate, timely, and based on the most up-to-date immigration policies.

Our team can spot red flags you may not notice, like changes in eligibility, issues with travel or arrests, or opportunities for longer-term immigration relief. They also help you respond quickly if USCIS requests more information or issues a denial.
