Navigating DACA: Understanding the Duration, Renewal, and Potential Risks
For many Dreamers in Jacksonville, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) has provided a sense of security and opportunity. However, understanding the ins and outs of DACA status can be confusing. How long does DACA status last? Can it be renewed? What are the risks of having your DACA status revoked? At Bilbao Law, we are here to provide legal assistance and guidance to Dreamers in Jacksonville who may have questions or concerns about their DACA status.
DACA status is typically granted for a period of two years. After those two years have passed, recipients must apply for a renewal to continue their protected status. It is important to submit a renewal application at least 150 days before your current DACA expires to ensure there is no gap in your protection. Our team at Bilbao Law can assist you with the renewal process to make sure everything goes smoothly.
In some cases, DACA status may be revoked due to changes in personal circumstances or violations of the program's guidelines. For example, if a recipient commits a felony or serious misdemeanor, their DACA status may be terminated. Additionally, failing to renew on time or providing false information on an application could lead to revocation. It is crucial for Dreamers in Jacksonville to understand these risks and make every effort to comply with the requirements of the program.
