• DACA Background – Eligibility and
Statistics
• Review of DACA Training Materials
• Step-by-step instructions for all DACA
forms, and review of evidence that may
required
• How to file for DACA renewal

4. Background
On June 15, 2012, the Obama administration
announced that certain young immigrants who were
brought to this country as children and educated in the
United States should not be deported, but instead
granted temporary status and work authorization.
An estimated 1.5
million youth are
potentially eligible
nationally, and 50-
75,000 in Illinois. An
estimated 15,000
lined up for a
workshop at Navy Pier
the first day the forms
were available.

5. Review of Basic
Eligibility Requirements
• Arrived in the United States before the age of sixteen;
• At least 15 years old at the time of filing for DACA (if currently
in removal proceedings, may apply before 15);
• Under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012;
• Physically present June 15, 2012;
• No lawful status on June 15, 2012;
• Continuous residence in the United States from June 15,
2007 to the time of filing;
• Currently enrolled in school or in GED classes, graduated
from high school or obtained a GED certificate, or have
honorable discharge from the U.S. Coast Guard or Armed
Forces; and
• Have not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant
misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or
otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety

6. What is the Benefit?
• Eligible individuals receive deferred action for two years
• Individuals may be granted an employment authorization
document if demonstrate economic necessity
• This qualifies an individual to obtain a social security number
and in most states, a driver’s license
• May travel outside the U.S. pursuant to advance parole after
deferred action is granted for certain reasons, such as:
– Employment;
– Humanitarian grounds; or
– Education.
• Must apply for and obtain advance parole before departure
(NIJC can file these applications )

7. Deferred Action
• Discretionary determination to defer removal of an
individual as an act of prosecutorial discretion
• Does NOT confer lawful status
• If granted, the individual will not be considered to
be accruing unlawful presence
• Does not absolve individuals of any previous or
subsequent periods of unlawful presence

8. Who is eligible to renew?
Any DACA recipient who:
• Met the guidelines for initial DACA request
• Did not depart the United States on or after August
15, 2012 without advance parole;
• Has continuously resided in the United States since
applying for DACA; and
• Has not been convicted of a felony, a significant
misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors,
and does not otherwise pose a threat to national
security or public safety.

9. When can an applicant renew?
• Up to 150 days prior to the expiration of your current period of DACA
(applications filed earlier will be rejected)
• USCIS recommends filing between 120 and 150 days prior to the
expiration of current period of DACA
Why is this timeline important?
• USCIS aims to adjudicate applications filed within this window
before the applicant’s employment authorization expires and may
extend DACA and work authorization in cases that are unusually
delayed
• Cases filed later may not benefit from these extensions. Thus, the
applicant’s work authorization may lapse and the applicant may
accrue unlawful presence
• May file as renewal applicant up to 1 year after DACA expires (but
employment authorization will lapse, will accrue unlawful status)
• If more than one year elapses, they will have to file as an initial
applicant.

10. What documentation is needed
for renewal?
Renewal Applicant need only submit:
• Documentation regarding new issues with
criminality, removal proceedings, or travel
outside of the United States
• Identification documents and copy of EAD (work
permit) to renew EAD; if EAD is lost/stolen,
submit police report and other forms of
identification
• USCIS is not asking for documents to prove
that the renewal applicant continues to
qualify for DACA under the educational
guidelines and USCIS will not issue a RFE for
such proof.

11. Updates on DACA processing
As of May 15, 2014 (most recent available data):
• 673,417 DACA applications have been filed
• 553,197 have been approved
• 20,311 have been denied
