Dreamers (DACA) Attorney In Brooklyn, New York

If you arrived in the United States before your 16th birthday without official authorization, you could potentially benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act. This will depend on the outcome of the July 16, 2021 ruling by a federal court that put the program on hold, should a higher court decide to overturn this ruling. Prior to July 16, this legislation offered a temporary respite from removal (deportation) actions. It's crucial to understand, however, that deferred action does not make you eligible for a green card. It does, on the other hand, allow you to remain, work, and study lawfully in the U.S.  for a renewable two-year period.

If you are currently in the United States without legal documentation, you may have heard of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act. This program was created to provide temporary relief from deportation for individuals who arrived in the US before their 16th birthday without official authorization. However, on July 16, 2021, a federal court put DACA on hold and its future is uncertain as higher courts review this decision.
