Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a U.S. immigration policy that provides temporary protection from deportation for eligible individuals who were brought to the United States as children. Established in 2012, DACA allows qualified applicants to receive renewable two-year periods of deferred action, as well as eligibility for work authorization. This program is a vital lifeline for many, enabling recipients—known as “Dreamers”—to live, work, and pursue their goals in the only country they’ve ever called home. At US Visa Pathway, we’re committed to helping Dreamers understand their rights and navigate the DACA process with confidence.
To qualify for DACA, applicants must meet a set of specific requirements. Here’s a summary of the eligibility criteria:
Applicants must have been under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, and at least 15 years old when applying (unless in removal proceedings).
Must have come to the United States before reaching the age of 16.
Must have continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007.
Applicants must have been physically present in the U.S. on June 15, 2012, and at the time of applying for DACA.
As of June 15, 2012, applicants should not have had any lawful immigration status.
Must be currently in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED, or have been honorably discharged from the U.S. military.
You must not have been convicted of a felony, a serious misdemeanor, or three or more other misdemeanors. You also must not pose a risk to national security or public safety.
