Dreamers (DACA) Attorney In Syracuse, NY

If you came to the United States unlawfully before you turned 16, you might be eligible for deferred action through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act, provided that the July 16, 2021 ruling by a federal court that suspends the program will be struck down by a higher court. Before July 16, this law deferred removal (deportation) actions for a specific period. Deferred action, however, does not qualify you for a green card. But it does give you the right to stay, work, and study legally in the U.S. Don’t give up hope, though. There might be alternatives to DACA. Almost a third of DACA applicants qualify for statuses that give them more permanent benefits. But to learn what you might be eligible for, you need to seek out the advice of one of our experienced attorneys. Only a licensed attorney can look at your situation and find a way forward in the complex U.S. immigration system.
