It is not amnesty, it is not permanent residency, it is not a path to citizenship. It is only temporary protection from deportation coupled with a work permit that will authorize employment for 2 years and can be subsequently renewed.

RISKS

Will my family be at risk if I apply for this benefit?

When this question was presented to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last Monday during a conference call, its representatives stated that DHS does not have the intention of investigating family members of the applicant only because an application was submitted.

What will happen if my request is denied?

It will depend on the reason for the denial. If the request is denied, for example, because the applicant has a criminal history, then that person will probably be placed in deportation proceedings. So please review your criminal history with an attorney before submitting your request. DHS also announced that an appeal process will not be available for these applications. Therefore, once an application is denied, the decision will be final.

BE AWARE OF “NOTARIO” FRAUD

There are many “notarios” who are taking advantage of undocumented immigrants as notarios are not authorized to be engaging in the practice of law, yet there are many providing immigration advice to the public. Please seek the advice of a licensed attorney with experience in immigration law before you submit your request for Deferred Action.
