President Obama announced the Dreamer Deferred Action initiative (DACA) in June of this year. The actual program began accepting applications on August 15, 2012. However, many eligible individuals have been holding back from applying until after the Presidential election. This hesitation to apply was (perhaps) well founded as Mitt Romney indicated on multiple occasions that he planned to halt the DACA program.
Now that President Obama has been re-elected, it is expected that many DACA eligible applicants will now file with the USCIS. If you are eligible fore DACA – please contact an immigration lawyer to assist with the Dreamer application process.
