Question 1

What are the requirements for DACA?

Accepted Answer

You must have been under 31 on June 15, 2012, entered the U.S. before age 16, continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, been physically present on June 15, 2012, and have no disqualifying criminal record. You must also be in school, have a GED/diploma, or be an honorably discharged veteran.

Question 2

Can I renew DACA in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Current DACA recipients can continue to renew their status. Submit your renewal application 120 to 150 days before your current DACA and employment authorization expire. Renewal requires Form I-821D, Form I-765, and Form I-765WS along with the filing fee.

Question 3

Does DACA provide a path to citizenship?

Accepted Answer

DACA does not provide a direct path to citizenship or permanent residency. It is a temporary program that provides protection from deportation and work authorization for two-year renewable periods. Legislative action would be required to create a pathway to permanent status for DACA recipients.

Question 4

What criminal convictions disqualify me from DACA?

Accepted Answer

A felony conviction, a significant misdemeanor (such as DUI, domestic violence, or drug distribution), or three or more non-significant misdemeanors disqualify you from DACA. Minor traffic violations without jail time generally do not count as misdemeanors for DACA purposes.
