We provide immediate attention to your pressing legal needs.
At a time when there’s increasing uncertainty surrounding deportations, looking for legal recourse is a priority for undocumented immigrants who entered the country as children and don’t know any other home. Trying to navigate the complex migration laws can be challenging and time-consuming when you need to find solutions quickly to avoid deportation.
One of the ways you can avoid deportation is through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration policy. This policy may provide you with temporary protection from deportation if you entered the country as an undocumented immigrant as a child. However, like other immigration policies, DACA is complex and often requires the assistance of a DACA immigration lawyer to assist with the process.
The Law Office of Carlos L. Williams has experience handling DACA cases for our clients for initial applications and renewals, and we can help you follow the right channels to keep your DACA status active. We can also provide you with legal advice on other immigration matters to keep your dream of living and working in the U.S. alive.
Be aware as of January 17, 2025 , new DACA applications are on hold and not currently being processed until the legal issues surrounding DACA can be addressed. Having said that, you can still apply, and it’s important to understand who DACA is for and what it offers.
Some of the reasons and instances that should encourage you to apply for DACA include the following:
DACA recipients also have additional benefits, such as social benefits and the ability to travel outside the U.S. with advance parole. However, some drawbacks must also be seriously considered before applying for DACA to ensure it is the best option for you and doesn’t jeopardize your chances of permanent residence. These drawbacks include:
Everything about DACA is temporary, and your DACA lawyer will strongly recommend that you renew your DACA at least 120 days before expiry to avoid lapses that could affect your work and education.
DACA protections are temporary and only granted for a limited period of two years. The application should be renewed before the expiration date. To avoid challenges, your DACA application attorney may recommend that you start working on the renewal up to 150 days before the expiry to ensure you account for the time it takes to complete the process to guarantee overlap.
If you’re a DACA recipient or non-DACA dreamer, there are some mistakes you should avoid during the renewal process that could impact your application. These include:
