Las Renovaciones de Acción Diferida de la Infancia Llegadas (DACA)
Si su primera petición de dos años de acción diferida de la Infancia Llegadas (DACA) está a punto de caducar, puede solicitar la renovación de su documento de autorización de empleo (EAD). Con el fin de asegurarse de que su EAD no caduque antes de que la nueva sea aprobada, usted debe presentar su solicitud de renovación 120 días (4 meses) antes de que su período de acción diferida caduque.
