Updates To Renewing DACA Status

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) application process involves multiple forms and documents. Even minor errors can cause delays or have your application denied. DACA recipients approaching their renewal deadline can ensure a smooth transition by following USCIS filing tips.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated its DACA filing tips to avoid denials and rejections.

Avoid Common DACA Renewal Filing Errors

• Submit all forms together: This includes Form I-821D, I-765 and I-765WS. Make sure to follow the mailing instructions based on your state.
• Consistency is key: Use the same format for your name and date of birth across all forms.
• Don’t forget to sign! Both you and anyone who helped you complete the forms need to sign in designated areas.
• Use the latest forms: Download the most recent versions of Form I-821D and I-765 from the USCIS website (https://www.uscis.gov/).
• Pay the correct fees: Use the USCIS Fee Calculator or Fee Schedule to determine the exact amount.
• Answer all questions: Leave blank spaces only for non-applicable items. Don’t leave date fields empty.
• Fill in entry information: If the exact details are unknown, provide your closest estimates for the date and place of entry. Use MM/DD/YYYY format for dates.
• Gather required documents: Include all supporting evidence following USCIS guidelines.
• Economic need: USCIS considers your personal income, expenses and assets, not your household’s finances. Supporting documentation is optional.
• Start fresh for errors: If you make a mistake, use a new form. Correction fluid or tape can cause processing delays.
• Review everything! Carefully check your entire application package before submitting it to USCIS.
