  • Haven’t left the United States without advanced parole since 6/15/12;

  • You have continuously resided in the United States since your most recent DACA renewal; and

  • You haven’t committed certain crimes.

Initial General Eligibility (exceptions apply):

• You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;

• You have continuously resided in the United States since 6/15/12;

Because DACA is currently on appeal to the Supreme Court, you should schedule a consultation to discuss the timing of your renewal, and the pros and cons of applying/renewing.
