How can I apply for a Deferred Action?
If you are an undocumented immigrant living in Colorado, it is possible to apply for a Deferred Action status. Deferred Action is a program created by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allows undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States for a certain period of time without the risk of deportation. In order to apply for Deferred Action, you must fill out the appropriate forms provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). These forms can be found on the USCIS website. Once these forms are completed, they must be submitted to the appropriate USCIS office with the appropriate filing fee. In addition to the filing fee, you must also provide evidence that you meet the eligibility requirements for Deferred Action. This includes proof of your identity, proof of your continuous residence in the United States, and evidence of your current immigration status. USCIS will evaluate your application and determine whether or not you meet the eligibility requirements. Once your application is approved, you will receive a Deferred Action status for a period of two years. During this time, you will be granted a work permit, and you will be protected from deportation. After the two year period is over, you may have to reapply for Deferred Action status. It is important to note that applying for Deferred Action does not provide you with a pathway to citizenship. It is simply a temporary reprieve from deportation. If you have questions about the Deferred Action process or need assistance with filling out the required forms, it is recommended that you contact an attorney specializing in immigration law for assistance.

DACA fue creado por el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos. Para aplicar para DACA, primero debe cumplir con los requisitos. Debe haber llegado a los Estados Unidos antes de cumplir los 16 años de edad y haber vivido en el país desde junio de 2007, a la fecha. Debe ser un estudiante que se mantenga al día en sus estudios o un graduado de la secundaria o un veterano honorario de las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos. Además, no debe tener ningún delito grave en su historial. Después de cumplir estos requisitos, puede iniciar el proceso de solicitud de DACA. Primero, debe solicitar una evaluación de antecedentes penales. Si la evaluación de antecedentes penales no revela ningún delito grave, debe completar la Solicitud de Acción Diferida para los Trabajadores del Campo de Inmigración (Formulario I-821D). La solicitud incluye información personal y de contacto, una declaración jurada y una prueba de residencia en los Estados Unidos. Una vez que haya completado todos los formularios, debe enviarlos por correo a la Dirección de Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS). Su solicitud se procesará y será evaluada para ver si reúne los criterios para DACA. Si su solicitud es aprobada, recibirá una notificación y una tarjeta de trabajo que le permitirá trabajar legalmente durante el término de la acción diferida.
