USCIS to Publish New Form to Allow Individuals to Renew Their Deferred Action

[sweetswinks 400]

The first DACA approvals will begin to expire in September 2014. To avoid a lapse in the period of deferral and employment authorization, individuals must file renewal requests before the expiration of their current period of DACA. USCIS encourages requestors to submit their renewal request approximately 120 days (four months) before their current period of deferred action expires.

Individuals may request DACA renewal if they continue to meet the initial criteria and these additional guidelines:

• Did not depart the United States on or after Aug. 15, 2012, without advance parole;
  
• Have continuously resided in the United States since they submitted their most recent DACA request that was approved; and
  
• Have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor or three or more misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
  

The renewal process begins by filing the new version of Form I-821D “Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,” Form I-765 “Application for Employment Authorization,” and the I-765 Worksheet. There is a filing and biometrics (fingerprints and photo) fee associated with Form I-765 totaling $465. As with an initial request, USCIS will conduct a background check when processing DACA renewals.

If USCIS encourages them to send requests 120 days before expiration, why did they wait until June to tell people with an expiration in September? lol.
