How can I apply for a Deferred Action?

Applying for Deferred Action in District of Columbia is a complicated process and requires careful research and attention to detail. Before submitting an application, applicants must check their eligibility and confirm that they are eligible for Deferred Action. Before submitting, the applicant should gather all necessary paperwork. In general, the required documents include: proof of identity, proof of U.S. residence or valid immigration status, proof of presence in the District of Columbia, and proof of financial stability. Once the documentation is in order, the applicant can apply for Deferred Action. The first step is to complete the I-821D form from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form is required to be filled out in full in order to be considered for Deferred Action. The applicant must then submit the form and all the required documents to the USCIS district office in District of Columbia. The USCIS will review the application and the documentation before making a decision. If approved, the applicant will receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). The EAD will allow the applicant to remain in the United States without the threat of deportation while they wait for their Deferred Action status to be finalized. Once the applicant has their EAD, they must maintain valid status and follow all the rules and regulations in place. Failure to do so could result in deportation. It is important to remember that Deferred Action is not a permanent solution and does not confer any lawful immigration status. An attorney or a trusted advisor should be consulted before submitting an application for Deferred Action.
