DACA Information
Important information about DACA requests: On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued a directing the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, to take appropriate action to preserve and fortify DACA, consistent with applicable law.
What is DACA?
On June 15, 2012, the secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal. They are also eligible for work authorization. Deferred action is a use of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status.
DACA Renewal Process
You can renew if 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; 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.
Get Help: Don鈥檛 apply alone. All DACA renewals are being accepted by USCIS. Consult a qualified attorney before submitting any application to immigration authorities, particularly if you have had any contact with police or any unauthorized absences from the U.S.
-
- Apply at least 150 days before your DACA and work permit expire. However, USCIS is now accepting applications more than 150 days prior to the expiration date and up to 364 days prior to the expiration date, so you can apply if your DACA will expire in less than 1 year.
- Note: you can still renew even if you are over 31, have graduated, or have moved schools.
Collect documents as evidence you meet the guidelines: You will need to submit supporting documents with your request for DACA. You can submit legible copies of these documents unless the instructions specify you must submit an original document.- G-28 鈥� Notice of Entry of Appearance As Attorney (Optional)

This service is made available to Community College students to provide Legal Service help to Immigrant and Undocumented students.
The California community college immigration legal services project Provides a wide range of free immigration legal services, including application assistance, education, and outreach to undocumented students, staff, and faculty on California community college campuses. The ten chosen legal services providers have committed to representing students, faculty, and staff through the duration of their case, in some instances, even after they are no longer affiliated with the community college system (so long as they were enrolled at intake). A partnership with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center will also allow us to develop accurate and current immigration law and policy information that our student, faculty, and staff can access through the Chancellor鈥檚 Office, regardless of which college they attend.
Immigration Services
Free immigration legal services are available to students, staff, and faculty affiliated with the Community Colleges. Priority for services is given to undocumented students, staff, and faculty.
