Last week the Supreme Court blocked the Trump Administration’s move to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program). This is a great victory for DACA recipients – the 700,000+ young immigrants who came here without the proper documents before the age of 16.This means they may continue to live, study and work in the United States without fear of deportation.

This is also very good news for potential DACA recipients. Since 2017, new applications have not been accepted, so qualified immigrants who had not applied previously did not have this protection. Now that the Supreme Court has vacated the decision to discontinue DACA, the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) should be accepting new applications soon.

If you meet all the requirements below, once your DACA application is accepted, you will be able to continue to reside, study and work in the United States with full legal protections. You are encouraged to apply as promptly as possible, since President Trump has announced his plans to rectify the Supreme Court’s objections and once again challenge this program.
