We strongly encourage DACA students to submit renewal applications as soon as possible. This applies to students whose DACA status or work permits will expire in the next 12 months.
The situation with DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, remains fluid. On August 8, a federal judge in Texas is scheduled to consider a request for a preliminary injunction to halt DACA. If the judge grants the preliminary injunction, the ruling could result in the federal government halting DACA renewals.
