Can New Applicants Apply For DACA 2020?

Do New Applicants Have The Option Of Applying For DACA 2020? Yes! First-time applicants may file requests for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under the DACA policy’s terms that were in effect before 9/5/17. In addition, you may also file DACA renewal requests under the DACA policy terms that were in effect before 9/5/17.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) implemented this policy on 12/7/2020 after being directed to do so by the United States District Court Judge on 12/4/2020. DACA is a progressive and inspired immigration policy.

DACA provides a protected status to individuals who arrived in the U.S. as children. Even if these individuals came to the U.S. without legal status, they were children when they arrived. For this reason, they did so due to no fault of their own.

During the time these individuals were present in our country as youngsters, they became a part of our communities and U.S. society. Therefore, U.S. law and policy should recognize, acknowledge, and welcome these people. DACA is a legal policy that results in justice for all.
