This document provides information to help determine if a person meets the basic eligibility requirements for deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA). It outlines seven questions on age, date of entry, criminal history, education status, and continuous residence that mirror the guidelines set by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for DACA consideration. The website cautions that meeting prima facie eligibility does not guarantee approval, and an attorney will need to confirm eligibility once registered with the law firm.
