A Los Angeles Immigration Lawyer Can Assist In Applications for Deferred Action
Immigration lawyers are aware that starting August 15, 2012, applications for the deferred action on young illegal immigrants will be accepted by the United States immigration bureau for processing. This deferred action, also known as the DREAM Act, allows foreign nationals who were brought into the U.S. by their loved ones, without understanding that specific immigration policies were being violated. These young individuals thus spent part of their childhood in America and have eventually realized that their entry into America is not fully recognized as legal. A Los Angeles immigration lawyer knows that almost all of these innocent young individuals were relocated to the U.S. by their parents for the main purpose of finding a better life.
The DREAM Act was formally announced to the American public on June 15, 2012, in which U.S. President Obama’s administration fully disclosed its intention to support the younger population of undocumented immigrants. However, not all of these individuals may be eligible for the deferred action, based on several criteria earlier established. If you contact a Los Angeles immigration lawyer, you will find that the deferred action for young undocumented immigrants will be processed on a case-to-case basis. In certain cases, the immigration office may search for specific features that would justify the individual’s stay in the United States.
By August 15, 2012, detailed information on how to request for a deferred action for undocumented youth will be available and this may help these young individuals in settling their statuses in the U.S. It may also be helpful to have an immigration attorney Los Angeles on your team who is abreast of the latest developments with regard to deferred action. Professionals in the field have a better understanding of the laws and rules governing immigration, including changing one’s status from being illegal to becoming a permanent resident. An attorney can also gather useful information for the young applicant, including specific documents to support the request of deferred action. The application can sometimes become confusing for an applicant, of which can be simplified by a Los Angeles immigration lawyer.
The specific information that will be released by the immigration bureau includes details on what can be done by undocumented immigrants who are on the verge of being deported out of the United States. These individuals are technically considered to be undergoing removal action, which might be modified if found eligible for the DREAM Act. An immigration lawyer Los Angeles will most likely have worked on numerous cases of deportation based on the simple discovery that a foreign national does not possess any authorization to remain in the United States. In the event of deportation, the foreign national can suffer from depression through separation from his or her loved ones, who may remain living in America. Deportation can also break family ties due to the distance imposed between members of the family. It is also be impossible for the deported foreign national to return to the U.S. using any type of immigration status. Every Los Angeles immigration attorney thus aims to assist in keeping families together within the U.S.
The request for deferred action should be submitted by mail, including the request for work authorization and other basic requirements such as application fees for the said process. Payment is generally received in the form of money order in U.S. dollar currency. There will also be need to take photographs and criminal checks on the applicant. For a Los Angeles immigration lawyer, these background checks will help determine whether the applicant will be a problem to the American society, or possibly a threat to the safety of the general public.
Approximately four immigration centers around the U.S. states have been assigned to receive and review all applications for the deferred action of young undocumented immigrants. All information on this specific process is also available at the U.S. immigration website. There will also be flyers and leaflets that contain information on how to apply for a deferred action, which may also be available at the local office of any immigration attorney.
