Remember, a general requirement is that you will have had to continuously resided in the U.S. for the past 5 years, leaving the U.S. may remove you from having that qualification and may end your chance of using this law to help you. If you do have an order for deportation, speak with an immigration attorney immediately.

Be careful not to be scammed!

It is important for you to make sure that you are going to a licensed attorney, especially one who focuses on immigration for help on any immigration issue. Another good place to get advice from is a certified immigration advisor at a non-profit location.

You must not be considered high enforcement for deportation, including but not limited to, people who have been ordered to leave the United States.

If you meet these requirements you have a high likelihood of qualifying for this new deferred action program. To get more details you should contact a licensed attorney who focuses predominately on immigration law.

You will want to begin collecting documents that prove that you were continuously residing in the United States for the last 5 years. You will want to collect documents proving that you are they parent of a U.S. citizen child or a child that is a permanent resident (green card holder). If you have a criminal record, regardless of what state those records are in, you should collect all documents pertaining to those incidents. We can help you to gather these types of documents as well.

Don't file anything!
