Deferred Action
for you or your childrenOn June 15, 2012 the Department of Homeland Security determined that certain people brought to the United States as young children do not pose a threat to national security or public safety. In many cases, they determined these people should be removed from consideration of removal, or deportation, from the country. Additionally, these people are now eligible for a Deferred Action period of two years after which they are either subject for renewal or ready for work authorization.
