Victory for DACA!

On December 4th, 2020, a federal judge from the District Court for the Eastern District of New York, ordered the Department of Homeland Security to fully restore the original DACA program.

This means that the US and Immigration Services (USCIS) must now:

  • Accept initial applications from eligible first-time applicants;
  • Continue accepting DACA renewals, process Advance Parole requests based on DACA’s original 2012 terms, and
  • Extended previously granted DACA protections from one (1) to two (2) years.
