How can I apply for a Deferred Action?

If you are in North Carolina and wish to apply for a Deferred Action, you will first need to determine if you are eligible. Generally, Deferred Action is granted to those who have been living in the United States for a certain period of time and have no criminal record. If you meet these eligibility requirements, then you must have an application for Deferred Action prepared and submitted to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A certified attorney or a licensed immigration consultant can help you with your application. Once your application is received, USCIS will review it to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements. If your application is approved, you will be granted a Deferred Action status. This status does not grant citizenship but it does provide a host of benefits including work authorization, protection from deportation, and eligibility for certain state and federal benefits. If your Deferred Action application is denied, you can reapply, appeal, or seek other forms of relief. It is important to note that Deferred Action does not provide a permanent legal status; it only provides temporary protection from deportation. Therefore, it is important to consult with a qualified attorney or immigration consultant to determine the best course of action for your situation.

Si está en proceso de deportación en Carolina del Norte, es posible solicitar una Acción Diferida. Esto le permite a los inmigrantes permanecer legalmente en los Estados Unidos de forma temporal. Esto significa que, si seleccionado para una Acción Diferida, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) le concede un periodo de estancia temporal dentro de los Estados Unidos, durante el cual la persona no está en riesgo de ser deportada. Para solicitar una Acción Diferida, debe enviar una solicitud al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS). Esta solicitud debe incluir: • Formulario de Solicitud de Acción Diferida • Documentos de Identificación (pasaporte y documentos de nacionalidad) • Documentación que demuestre que reside en los Estados Unidos desde antes de Junio 15 de 2007 • Una prueba de buen comportamiento criminal • Certificado de Nacimiento • Documentos que demuestren que uno es el padre, madre, hijo o hija de un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos o residente permanente. Además, es necesario pagar una tarifa aplicable. Una vez que se envía la solicitud, el DHS revisará los documentos proporcionados y decidirá si la persona es elegible para una Acción Diferida. Si el DHS aprueba una solicitud de Acción Diferida, se le otorgará un documento de estancia temporal con un estatus de no inmigrante. Esto les permitirá a los solicitantes de la Acción Diferida poder trabajar legalmente en los Estados Unidos.
