Legal Assistance for Clients in Marion & Polk Counties and Throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest Since 2009
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a U.S. immigration policy that provides temporary protection from deportation and work authorization to eligible immigrant youth brought to the U.S. as children. Established in 2012 by Executive Order, DACA aims to allow these individuals to study, work, and contribute to society without the immediate fear of deportation.
Because the DACA program has been subject to court decisions in recent years, you must consult with an experienced immigration lawyer for assistance with any DACA-related matter. At Affordable Immigration, we practice U.S. immigration law exclusively and stay current on emerging changes in the law. Our team is well-equipped to handle your questions, concerns, and legal issues, such as renewals, under the DACA program.

The Changing DACA Program
As of the most recent updates, the DACA program remains a critical part of immigration policy, although it has faced numerous legal challenges and changes over the years. While new applications are currently paused due to court rulings, if you are already in the program, you generally have the option to renew your status.
Current and potential DACA recipients must stay informed about legal developments as policies and regulations continually fluctuate.

DACA Benefits
The DACA program provides several significant benefits to eligible individuals. First and foremost, it offers protection from deportation, allowing recipients, called “Dreamers,” to remain in the United States without the constant fear of removal.
This stability enables you to focus on your education and career aspirations. DACA also grants work authorization, which opens up lawful employment opportunities, allowing you to contribute to the economy and gain financial independence.
Additionally, with a valid DACA status, you can often obtain a Social Security number and, in many states, a driver’s license. These benefits collectively support Dreamers in becoming part of American society, fostering a sense of belonging and offering a pathway to upward mobility.
The DACA Renewal Process
Renewing DACA status requires meeting the initial eligibility criteria and submitting a renewal application on time. Renewals should ideally be filed between 120 and 150 days before your current status expires to prevent protection and work authorization lapses.
The renewal process involves submitting Form I-821D and Form I-765, supplemented by documentation demonstrating continued eligibility and any changes in circumstances.
