The US Supreme Court ruled in favor the DACA Program. Their decision restored the program completely, and both initial and renewal applications should be accepted by USCIS.
- Eligible individuals who never had DACA should be able to apply at this time.
- All eligible individuals should consult with a legal service provider for information about applying for DACA for the first time, renewing their existing DACA, and/or getting screened for eligibility for other, more permanent immigration options.
- Eligible DACA recipients can continue to apply to renew their DACA for two more years.
- Current DACA recipients continue to be protected from deportation and eligible for benefits under the DACA program, like work authorization.

Dream Project
- The Dream Project empowers students whose immigration status creates barriers to higher education. We start our program in high school and continue through college graduation into professional life. Students are supported through a strong network of mentoring, scholarships, and family engagement. Our start-up nonprofit has created an intentionally inclusive community where students are encouraged to use education as a vehicle to pursue their dreams and achieve their fullest potential.
