Houston DACA Attorneys

What is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an immigration policy established by President Obama in 2012. This policy allows certain individuals who came to the U.S. illegally as children to be protected from deportation for a span of two years, which can be renewed. These undocumented individuals may also be allowed to request work permits.

If you wish to apply for the benefits of the DACA program, Galaviz Law Firm, PLLC can provide highly qualified legal assistance in immigration law. Based on experience as the son of immigrants, our DACA attorney is dedicated to helping immigrants and their families reach their dreams and potential here in the U.S.

Who is Eligible for DACA?

The DACA program expired in March of 2018, but it has been put on hold and not disbanded while it is being litigated in court. DACA is not a path to citizenship; its benefits apply only to deportation protection and work permits.

You can request DACA benefits if you meet the following guidelines:

• As of June 15, 2012 you were under the age of 31
• You entered the U.S. before the age of 16
• From June 15, 2007 up to the present, you have lived continuously in the U.S.
• You were physically in the U.S. on June 15, 2012
• You were physically in the U.S. at the time of your DACA application
• You entered the U.S. unlawfully or your lawful status expired as of June 15, 2012
• You are currently attending or have graduated from high school, or have obtained a GED, or have served in the military and have been honorably discharged
• You do not have a criminal record of felonies or multiple misdemeanors
