If you have DACA you can still renew your work permit!

Here’s the thing, we don’t know how long we’ll have this opportunity. That’s why it’s important to apply now.

You qualify for renewal if the following statements pertain to you:

  • You have applied and received DACA before.

  • You have not departed the U.S. on or after Aug. 15, 2012, without first having been granted advance parole.

  • You must have resided continuously in the U.S. from the time you submitted the initial request for DACA up until the present time.

  • You must not have been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and must not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety. If you do not have felonies. If you do, please consult with a lawyer.

United We Dream has given a grant to the RISE Law Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Thanks to this grant, their office is currently providing scholarships to cover the $495 DACA renewal fees. Their office is also offering pro bono/low-cost DACA renewal appointments on Wednesdays to help clients with the renewal application process.
