Palm Bay DACA Lawyer

In today’s immigration discussions, people tend to think of individuals as legal or illegal. However, it is not so easy to classify immigrants. For example, children who were brought to the United States did not commit any crimes, but still face threats of deportation.

If you are or were one of these children, our firm’s Palm Bay DACA lawyer, Shoba Jaglal, could help you protect your future. Shoba went through the immigration process herself and understands the challenges DACA recipients face. While the USCIS is no longer processing new applications, our team of compassionate family immigration lawyers could help you renew your status.

What Is DACA?

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is a program protecting individuals who immigrated to the United States as children. Though it does not grant permanent legal status to these individuals, DACA allows recipients to obtain work permits and remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation.

Not every person qualifies for the program. DACA recipients, often called “Dreamers,” must meet specific requirements and renew their status every two years. The USCIS is no longer processing new applications, but current recipients may be eligible to renew their status.

To be eligible for DACA renewal, the following qualifications must apply:

• You have continuously resided in the United States since submitting your most recently approved DACA request
• You have not departed the United States on or after August 15, 2012, without Advance Parole
• You have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety
• You received DACA status, and it expires or has expired within the year
• You can pay the necessary fee

If you meet these requirements, you may be eligible to renew your DACA status, and a Palm Bay attorney could help you do so.

Challenges with DACA Renewal Applications

DACA recipients face many challenges, such as:

• DACA policies changing due to court rulings or government decisions
• Missed renewal deadlines that put status at risk
• Incomplete or missing documents that cause delays
• Concerns over the long-term stability of DACA

Our Palm Bay DACA attorney stays informed of legal changes so they can help you face obstacles affecting your DACA status. While a lawyer cannot eliminate the red tape, they could help you cut through it.
