Frequently Asked Questions
Who can file Form I-821D?
Individuals who meet the DACA guidelines, filing an initial request or a renewal.
Are initial DACA requests currently being processed?
Due to ongoing litigation, USCIS has continued accepting new initial DACA requests but is not processing them, while renewal requests continue to be processed.
How early can I file a renewal?
USCIS recommends filing a renewal request of 120 to 150 days before your current DACA period expires.
Does DACA lead to permanent status?
No. DACA is a temporary, discretionary protection from removal and does not by itself provide a path to permanent residence or citizenship.
