DACA offers certain legal protections to eligible immigrant youth who were brought to the United States when they were children. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation and 2) a work permit. DACA recipients could request consideration every two years, subject to renewal.

In light of the Trump Administration's announcement ending the administratively-issued DACA as of March 5, 2018, here’s what you need to know:

• Initial DACA Applicants. No new initial applications are being accepted at this time.
• Renewal DACA Applicants. USCIS will adjudicate DACA renewal requests received by Oct. 5, 2017, from current beneficiaries whose benefits will expire between Sept. 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018.
• Read the 2017 DACA announcement from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
