Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an immigration program that provides temporary protection from deportation and allows eligible individuals who came to the United States as children to obtain work authorization.

While DACA does not provide lawful permanent resident status or a direct path to citizenship, it can provide important protections and opportunities for qualifying individuals.

At Powers Law Group, we help individuals understand their eligibility, maintain their status, and navigate the DACA renewal process.

What Is DACA?

DACA was established in 2012 to provide temporary relief from removal for certain undocumented individuals who arrived in the United States as children.

Individuals approved for DACA may receive:

✅ Protection from deportation

✅ Employment Authorization Documents (Work Permits)

✅ Social Security Number Eligibility

✅ Ability to Obtain a Driver’s License (depending on state requirements)

✅ Renewable Protection in Two-Year Increments

Because immigration policies continue to evolve, it is important to stay informed about current DACA requirements and renewal procedures.

Who May Qualify for DACA?

You may be eligible if you:

• Arrived in the United States before your 16th birthday
• Have continuously resided in the United States since the required date established by USCIS
• Were under the age requirement when the program began
• Are currently in school, have graduated, obtained a GED, or meet certain military service requirements
• Have not been convicted of certain crimes that would disqualify you

Eligibility requirements are complex and may vary based on individual circumstances.
