The DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program protects certain immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children, allowing them to work legally and avoid deportation. However, DACA is not a permanent status, so it must be renewed periodically.

When Should You Renew Your DACA?

🔹 It is recommended to renew between 120 and 150 days before your work permit expires.
🔹 If your DACA has expired for more than a year, you will need to submit a new application instead of a renewal.

Documents Needed to Renew DACA:

✔️ I-821D Form (Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
✔️ I-765 Form (Application for Employment Authorization).
✔️ I-765WS Form (Economic Need Explanation).
✔️ Copy of your current Work Permit (EAD).
✔️ Two passport-size photos (if required by USCIS).
✔️ Renewal fee payment.

Can You Lose DACA?

Yes, if:
❌ You commit serious crimes or multiple minor offenses.
❌ You don’t renew on time, and your status expires.
❌ You fail to meet education or employment requirements.
