USCIS to Begin Accepting Applications for Expanded #DACA on February 18, 2015

USCIS announced that it will begin accepting applications for expanded #DACA on February 18, 2015.  The new initiative extends the deferred action period and employment authorization to three years from two years, and allows you to be considered for DACA if you:
◦ Entered the United States before the age of 16;
◦ Have lived in the United States continuously since at least January 1, 2010, rather than the prior requirement of June 15, 2007;
◦ Are of any age (removes the requirement to have been born prior to June 15, 1981); and
◦ Meet all the other DACA guidelines.

If you would like a free evaluation of #DACA eligibility under the expanded requirements please contact the law firm of Getson & Schatz, P.C.
