Litigation around the DACA program continues. Existing DACA holders, including DACA holders whose DACA expired LESS than one year ago, may continue to renew their status.  

• You may renew your DACA if you previously held or currently held DACA status under the litigation.

• Please note that USCIS may no longer send out the “renewal notice” letters they previously sent. You should renew your DACA 3-5 months before its expiration without waiting for anything from USCIS

• We will continue to charge $300 to process DACA renewals without complications. The USCIS filing fee is $495.

• Individuals who never held DACA are unable to apply for the first time.

• DACA holders can apply for advance parole if they are eligible based on a humanitarian, work or education-related reason.

VERY IMPORTANT - if you have possible other relief available to you - through a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, another family petition, a U visa (have you ever been the victim of any violent crime?) please talk to me (or another qualified immigration attorney) as soon as possible.
