DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)
Experienced York Immigration Attorney (717) 921-4042
In 2012, an executive order known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was put in place. DACA is intended to protect individuals who overstayed their visas or who came to the U.S. without documentation due to their parents' actions as children. DACA can be used to help individuals who are facing deportation or those who are seeking deferred action for employment purposes. The York immigration attorney at The Law Office of Rosina C. Stambaugh can help you explore the qualifications and determine whether you qualify for DACA. For more information please follow this link to the DHS.gov FAQ page.
