Dallas immigration attorney consulting with a client about a DACA case

DACA Lawyer in Dallas

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals provides temporary protection from removal and work authorization for qualifying individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children.

Who Is the DACA For?

→ Individuals who arrived in the U.S. before their 16th birthday and have continuously resided in the U.S. since a specified date
→ Applicants currently in school, a high school graduate/GED holder, or an honorably discharged veteran
→ Individuals without a felony, significant misdemeanor conviction, or other disqualifying criminal history

Who Qualifies

DACA does not provide a path to permanent residency or citizenship on its own; it is a discretionary grant of deferred action renewable every two years, and current litigation continues to affect the availability of initial requests versus renewals.

How to Apply

Eligible individuals (generally limited to renewals under current policy) file Form I-821D along with Form I-765 for employment authorization and supporting evidence of continuous residence and education.
