Deferred Action: Childhood Arrivals

Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals Renewal

Effective immediately, USCIS will begin accepting renewal requests for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. USCIS will also continue to accept requests for DACA from individuals who have not previously sought to access the program. To avoid a lapse in the period of deferral and employment authorization, individuals must file renewal requests before the expiration of their current period of DACA. USCIS encourages requestors to submit their renewal request approximately 120 days (four months) before their current period of deferred action expires.
