I-821D

If you are eligible to apply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, you can file Form I-821D to request that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services exercise discretion toward you and, essentially, exempt you from removal or deportation proceedings.

USCIS will consider this, known as “deferring action”, on a case-by-case basis and based on certain guidelines. If you receive deferred action, you will not be placed into removal proceedings or removed from the United States for a specified period of time.

If granted DACA status, you will be able to apply for work authorization and permission to travel outside the United States.

You have the following responsibilities upon completion:

  • The signed form must be mailed directly to USCIS.
  • All the applicable USCIS fees must be paid by you
