You've heard DACA has been dismantled, but what can you do about it? What can your friends and neighbors who are affected do? Well here's some fantastic information provided by our friends over at JRI.org. The most important things you can do is to show up, donate, and call your congress people. Make a ruckus! Support the Fight Financially here.
What We Know:
“What does this mean for undocumented young adults?
– If you qualify for DACA, but have not submitted your application: DACA initial request applications will no longer be reviewed.
– If you currently have DACA: You can keep using your employment authorization/social security number.
– If your DACA is going to expire before/on March 5, 2018: You can apply to renew it. Note: You need to submit your renewal application by October 5, 2017.
– Regarding advance parole: If you have DACA and had plans to travel abroad using advance parole (AP), new Form I-131 applications for advance parole will not be reviewed. If you received your AP approval before 9/5/17, it will still be honored. Pending applications will be denied and the money will be refunded.”
