How can I apply for a Deferred Action?
If you are an immigrant in Washington and are looking to apply for Deferred Action, there are a few steps you must take. First, you must determine if you meet the eligibility requirements for Deferred Action. These requirements include being under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, entering the United States before your 16th birthday, having continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, and being currently enrolled in school, having graduated from high school in the United States, or having been honorably discharged from the United States Coast Guard or Armed Forces. Once you have determined you are eligible, the next step is to complete two forms: Form I-821D and Form I-765. Form I-821D is the application for Deferred Action and Form I-765 is the application for employment authorization. It is important to review the instructions on these forms carefully and to complete them accurately. You should collect the required documents for your application which may include proof of identity, proof of entry into the United States, and proof of continuous residency in the United States. You will also need to pay the filing fee for both forms. Once you have completed the applications and gathered the required documents, you will need to mail them to USCIS. Applying for Deferred Action can be complicated, so it may be beneficial to speak with an immigration lawyer about your situation before you begin the process. An immigration lawyer can also help ensure that your application is completed accurately and that you have all of the required documents, so that you have the best chance of being approved.
