What to do
See if you are eligible
Schedule an appointment with one of the organizations below to renew DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
DACA was created in 2012 to give some undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children temporary protection from deportation and access to a work permit.
On July 16, 2021, a federal judge ruled that the DACA program is unlawful. This means that first-time applications will not be granted at this time. However, DACA recipients will keep their protections and work permits, and DACA renewals will continue. Anyone who currently has DACA or who has had DACA in the past year is still eligible to renew.
