Earlier today, the Department of Homeland Security posted a release
reinstating that USCIS will be ready to implement the deferred action
for childhood arrivals process on August 15. On June 15, Janet
Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, announced that certain young
people who came to the U.S. as children and meet key guidelines may be
eligible to receive deferred action. The process by which such
candidates can request consideration for deferred action is currently
being finalized by USCIS.
USCIS states that it intends to make
all forms, instructions and other relevant information and tools related
to deferred action for childhood arrivals ready for the public on
August 15, 2012. The federal agency will then immediately begin
accepting requests for consideration.
