Filing for Deferred Action



Almost a million young individuals in the US are looking for information regarding one of the biggest immigration laws providing work permits to the undocumented immigrants, known as deferred action. 
San Antonio Immigration Services


Here are some of the major points as provided by the immigration department:

  • Filing fee for work permits and deferred action.
  • Information that is obtained by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services during the filing cannot be used for immigration enforcement, unless a fraud, criminal or national security issue is involved.
  • Applicants are required to undergo background checks and submit biometrics.
  • Being convicted for driving without a license is not considered as a disqualifying violation.
  • It takes several months for the authorities to adjudicate the deferred action applications.
  • Applicants have to mail their application along with the work permit application to a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Lockbox.
Eligibility criteria:

San Antonio deferred action is for those who, 

  1. Have come to the country under sixteen years of age
  2. Have resided in the US continuously for a minimum of five years
  3. Are in school or are high school graduates, have attained an education development certificate
  4. Have not been found guilty of an offense, a serious misdemeanor, several misdemeanor offenses, or pose a threat to public safety or national security
  5. Are not more than thirty years old
  6. Those who have removal or final deportation orders, or are in removal proceedings, or have not been detected by the authorities are eligible to apply, if they qualify.
  7. Those who have valid documentation to prove that they meet the aforementioned criteria are granted deferred action, which will offer them immunity from deportation for two years and a chance to apply for a work permit.
This is a great chance for undocumented individuals to find their place in the United States, but it is important to be cautious about depending on bad lawyers and advice, especially from those who are not qualified to practice immigration law. Thousands of immigrants fall prey to dishonest service providers who offer false or misleading information on deferred action San Antonio. Immigration law is a very complicated field. One mistake and the chances of deportation rise immensely.
