DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a program that provides temporary protection from deportation to individuals who came to the United States as children. DACA recipients can apply for a two-year work permit and are eligible for renewal.
To renew DACA, applicants must submit a renewal application and supporting documents to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before their current DACA status expires. It is recommended that applicants begin the renewal process approximately 150 days before their expiration date.

About
The DACA renewal process is generally simpler and quicker than the initial application process. However, it is important to ensure that all necessary documents are included in the renewal application to avoid any delays or complications.
At a time when the future of DACA is uncertain, it is crucial for eligible individuals to take advantage of the program’s benefits while they still can. Renewing DACA status can provide recipients with the opportunity to continue pursuing their education, employment, and other important aspects of their lives.
