DACA Attorneys In Phoenix

“DACA” stands for Deferred Action for certain Childhood Arrivals to the United States. On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people, commonly referred to as “Dreamers,” who came to the United States as children and met several guidelines, could apply for deferred action for a period of two years-subject to renewal. If approved, they would be eligible for:

• Employment Authorization Cards
• Social Security Cards
• Drivers Licenses
• Identification Cards (State IDs)
  

Since the program was implemented in 2012, more than 825,000 people have been able to apply for DACA and obtain work authorization. With DACA status, many people who had previously lived in fear of deportation even though brought to this country through no fault of their own, now felt comfortable coming out of the shadows and establishing credit, buying homes, applying for better paying jobs, and pursuing advanced degrees in higher education.
