Atlanta Immigration Lawyers Protecting Your Rights Under DACA

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a law allowing some individuals brought to the country as children to receive a two-year period to defer the action of deportation. During this period, they may seek a work permit. DACA protects immigrant youth from deportation and allows them to contribute more fully to their communities and the United States.

At Zambrano & Ruiz, LLC, we stand with the Dreamers. Our immigration law attorneys make a difference in the lives of immigrant youth throughout Marietta and the greater Atlanta area. We bring dedication and a deep understanding to each case, especially for those seeking guidance on DACA-related issues. Our own personal connections to the immigrant Latino community drive us to work tirelessly on behalf of our clients.

What Are The Benefits Of DACA, And Who Qualifies For It?

DACA offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Delay of deportation
  • Work authorization
  • Ability to apply for a Social Security number
  • Access to driver’s licenses and educational opportunities

To be eligible for DACA, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Arrived in the U.S. before turning 16
  • Lived continuously in the U.S. since at least June 15, 2007
  • Were in the U.S. physically on June 15, 2012, and when filing the DACA petition
  • Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012
  • Are attending school, finished high school, obtained a GED or are an honorably discharged veteran
  • Have no felony convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions or more than three misdemeanor convictions
  • Do not pose a threat to U.S. security or the public’s safety

Having a knowledgeable DACA attorney can make all the difference in remaining in the U.S. Our Atlanta immigration attorneys help ensure that your application is complete and accurate, advise on the best course of action for your individual circumstances and manage any problems that arise.
