DACA更新

February 13, 2018

DACA更新：

跟随联邦政府在二零一八年一月九日发出的法庭命令，美国移民服务部门（USCIS）重新开放了限制性续办童年入境暂缓遣返程序(DACA)。美国移民服务部门已在二零一八年一月十三日在美国移民服务部门网页上列明了这些规则。如果你符合这些规则，我们建议你尽早和移民律师讨论你的案子：

  • 如果你已经有DACA和你的DACA在二零一六年九月五日当天或之后过期，你也许可以申请更新你的DACA。
  • 如果你的DACA在二零一六年九月五日之前已经过期或被终止了，你也许可以申请更新你的DACA，但是你一定要跟你第一次申请时一样填写申请表格和提交证明文件。
  • USCIS不会接受之前未有获得DACA批准的申请人的表格。 USCIS现在也不会接受或批准DACA持有人回美证的申请。

如果你有任何问题，请与亚美法律资源中心联络。电话：(202) 393 – 3572 (中文分机18、南亚语言分机19、越南语分机20、朝鲜语分机21、英文分机22)

DACA Renewals

February 13, 2018

DACA Update:

Following a Federal Court order on January 9, 2018, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) resumed accepting applications for renewing DACA under certain guidelines.  These guidelines were listed on the USCIS website on January 13, 2018.  If you meet the following criteria, we recommend that you contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case.

  • If you previously received DACA and your DACA expired on or after September 5, 2016: you may be able to file a renewal request
  • If your DACA expired or was terminated before September 5, 2016, you may be able to file a renewal request, but you must fill out the application and submit evidence as though you were applying for the first time
  • USCIS is not accepting requests from individuals who have never before been granted DACA.  USCIS will not accept or approve advance parole requests from DACA recipients. 

If you have any questions, please contact the APALRC at (202) 393-3572 (Chinese Ext. 18, South Asian Ext. 19, Vietnamese Ext. 20, Korean Ext. 21, English Ext. 22)
