Before proceeding to the intake itself, you first need to sign all of the consent forms required by the IRS and Lafayette Urban Ministry.
USCIS AHORA ESTÁ ACEPTANDO LAS SOLICITUDES INICIALES Y DE RENOVACIÓN DE DACA
Con efecto inmediato, el gobierno de EE. UU. Está aceptando solicitudes iniciales de DACA, solicitudes de renovación de DACA y solicitudes de permiso anticipado de los beneficiarios de DACA según los términos del programa DACA antes del 5 de septiembre de 2017. Además, cualquier DACA y documentos de autorización de empleo (EAD) ) emitidos por un año, en lugar de dos años, se extienden a dos años; el gobierno federal tomará medidas para proporcionar evidencia de esta extensión.
El 4 de diciembre de 2020, un tribunal de distrito de los EE. UU. En el Distrito Este de Nueva York ordenó que se anulara el memorando de julio de 2020 que restringió severamente DACA y prohibió las solicitudes iniciales para DACA.
