How can I apply for a Deferred Action?

If you are an immigrant residing in Massachusetts and are facing deportation, you may be eligible for Deferred Action. Deferred Action is a form of prosecutorial discretion that allows the government to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. To apply for Deferred Action, you must submit an application package to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your application must include a completed Form I-821D, which is the Application for Deferred Action. You must also include Form I-765, the Application for Employment Authorization and the fee for both forms. You must also submit supporting documents including proof of identity and valid immigration status, evidence of your continuous presence in the United States, evidence of your honorable conduct, and evidence of your economic necessity or extreme hardship if you are removed from the United States. It is important to note that Deferred Action is not a form of permanent legal status and may be terminated at any time. Furthermore, applying for Deferred Action does not guarantee that your application will be approved. Therefore, it is important to consult with an immigration attorney before making your application to ensure that your application is complete and accurate. A qualified immigration attorney can provide guidance about the process and help you make the best decisions for your individual situation.
