When To Request Consideration Of Deferred Action

By Serena Price


Several people who presently reside in the US may wonder if deferred action can be applied to them or their friends and family. This policy was developed recently by Secretary Janet Napolitano. She put forward that children who arrived in the states while they were very young and posed no threat to national security up to the present time, should have the option of being given relief from removal. They should never be automatically removed from the US.

This move will allow children who in many cases have never known another home, to remain in an environment that they are familiar with. While kids may have been born in another country, if they came to the US when they were still very young, they would have no connections whatsoever in their mind and heart to any other place but the American community that they grew up in.

Many people who are worried about these issues may wonder where to seek help. Representatives from Homeland Security can often clarify issues that people have. That department also has a website that is good at outlining the criteria that apply in this case. In addition to that, some persons may seek help from qualified attorneys who can give more peace of mind.

The Department of Homeland Security has several criteria that young persons must meet before they can be considered for this type of relief. Individuals must not present a risk to public safety. If they can meet the key criteria, they may receive deferred action for two years. This period is subject to renewal.

Persons who qualify for this program can apply for documents which allow them to freely work in America. That means that they can remain productive and continue contributing to the economic growth of the country that they live in. This is the aim of the government, which wants to use discretion before sending young people off into unfamiliar situations where they cannot even understand the language.

People who arrived in the country before reaching age sixteen will generally be eligible for deferrals, once they have not been convicted of certain criminal offenses such as violent crimes. It is also important for them to have lived in the US for at leave five straight years before the new policy was instituted. Students who are currently doing a course or are enrolled in high school have a good chance of receiving a deferral, as do persons who have served as military personnel.

A person whose case has been deferred has to show economic necessity before they can receive employment authorization. Once they can prove that this is necessary in their case, USCIS will provide the necessary permission so that you can legally seek employment in America. If you want to become a citizen you will need to start that process separately.

Young people who benefit from deferred action can continue studying more comfortably. They will also have fewer concerns about how they will meet their economic needs once they finish school because they can seek employment once the proper authorization has been granted. This allows them to be productive.
