Orlando DACA Attorneys

Protecting American Dreams through Experienced Legal Guidance

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was introduced by the Obama administration in 2012 to protect qualifying undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children. DACA allows qualifying to continue living and working in the U.S. on a limited basis while protecting them from deportation efforts.

The program has been subject to frequent interruptions triggered by executive actions and legal challenges.

As of early 2025, the DACA program is not processing any new applications for DACA, however, they are still renewing all existing processes. If you need help renewing your DACA status, please contact our office for assistance.

No matter what immigration challenges you face, our team is prepared to help you achieve your American dream, whether it is here in Orlando, in Central Florida, Puerto Rico or anywhere else in the United States.  Call  (407) 329-7711 or contact us online to discuss your case.

How Does DACA Work?

DACA status protects beneficiaries from removal proceedings and deportation

Program beneficiaries are entitled to continue living in the United States and have the ability to apply for a work permit, driver’s license, and social security number. However, DACA does not confer any permanent legal status, and there is presently no pathway for beneficiaries to pursue lawful permanent residency or citizenship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear and Detailed Answers to Help You Understand Your Case

What is DACA?
DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is a program that protects certain undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation. It also allows them to obtain work permits and, in some cases, travel authorization.
To qualify, applicants must have arrived in the U.S. before turning 16, have continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, have no serious criminal record, and meet educational or military service requirements.
Currently, first-time DACA applications are not being accepted due to legal challenges. However, renewals are still allowed. It’s important to stay updated on any policy changes.
DACA protection and work permits are granted for two years at a time. Beneficiaries must renew their status before it expires to avoid losing protection.
DACA recipients can apply for advance parole to travel outside the U.S. for specific reasons, such as humanitarian, educational, or employment purposes. Traveling without advance parole can result in losing DACA status.
