Get Help with DACA

A judge in Texas has just ordered the DACA program to be partially ended. This ruling comes after our victory from the New York Federal court last year reinstating DACA in full. Here’s what this means: 

What does the ruling mean?

It means that Judge Andrew Hanen has sided with Republicans and has partially ended the DACA program. While new applications will no longer be approved, renewals will continue to move forward. The ruling goes into effect immediately. 

What happens to DACA recipients and DACA-eligible youth? 

If you have DACA right now: you are still protected and will be able to continue renewing for now. 

If you are eligible for DACA but have never applied: DHS can still accept your application but will NOT be able to process it.  

If your application for renewal is already being processed: your renewal should continue as normal.  

What does the UFW Foundation recommend?  

DACA Renewals are currently processing for more than 4 months. USCIS suggests that you submit your renewal application at least 150 days before your current DACA status and employment authorization document expires. Please call the UFW Foundation at one of our office numbers for guidance on your situation or if you have any questions.   

If people have been previously arrested or have previous crimes, it is imperative that they seek the opinion of an experienced immigration service provider.
