USCIS DACA Amnesty Page Under Review
Jan. 10, 2018: This page is under review. More information is forthcoming.
DACA is Ending
- We are no longer accepting initial or renewal requests for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. We will consider DACA requests received from residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on a case-by-case basis.
- If you are a current DACA recipient and your still-valid Employment Authorization Document (EAD) has been lost, stolen or destroyed, you may request a replacement EAD by filing a new Form I-765 at any time, if the EAD is still valid.
- We will no longer approve advance parole requests associated with DACA.
- Read the 2017 DACA announcement.
Who Can Renew
You may request a renewal if you met the initial 2012 DACA guidelines and you:
- Did not depart the United States on or after Aug. 15, 2012, without advance parole;
- Have continuously resided in the United States since you submitted your most recent DACA request that was approved;
- 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; and
- Are a current DACA recipient whose benefits expire between Sept. 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018.
When to Renew
We are only adjudicating DACA renewal requests received by Oct. 5, 2017, from current beneficiaries whose benefits will expire between Sept. 5, 2017, and March 5, 2018.
USCIS’ current goal is to process DACA renewal requests within 120 days. If your renewal request has been pending more than 105 days and you have not heard from us, please feel free to contact us.
Please contact us through the USCIS Customer Contact Center or by sending a message from your USCIS online account inbox.
How to Renew
- Complete and sign:
- Follow the instructions on all three forms to submit them to USCIS. Make sure you submit the correct fees.
Additional Documents
Do not submit any additional documents at the time you request renewal unless:
- You have new documents involving removal proceedings or criminal history that you did not already submit to USCIS in a previously approved DACA request.
USCIS may request additional documents or statements to verify information provided in support of requests for renewal of DACA. We may contact other government agencies, education institutions, employers, or other entities in order to verify information.
If you knowingly and willfully provide materially false information on Form I-821D, you will be committing a felony punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison, or both (see 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 (PDF).) In addition, you may be placed into removal proceedings.
