Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals presentation
By Anonymous — Monday, September 24th, 2012
Dear Community Friends: As the Director of Fillmore’s Santa Clara Valley Legal Aid, we have been getting a lot of questions regarding the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals- (“DACA”). To accommodate these questions, we will be hosting a presentation on DACA on Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 6 PM at the Fillmore Senior Center. As you may have read, President Obama has provided a relief process for eligible undocumented youth. Under directive from the Department of Homeland Security, DREAM Act eligible youth will be given a type of temporary permission to stay in the U.S. called "deferred action for childhood arrivals." DACA will be valid for two years and may be renewed at the end of two years. Individuals who receive deferred action may apply for and may obtain employment authorization. The federal government began accepting deferred action requests on August 15, 2012. Santa Clara Valley Legal Aid has invited immigration attorney Gabriella Navarro-Busch and a team of immigration attorneys to do a presentation to our community about DACA. The presentation will include DACA eligibility, process, how it incorporates the Dream Act, red-flags, how to apply. The presentation will be an overview of the program and then immigration attorneys will be available one on one to meet with people. This event is free of charge and child care will be provided. Santa Clara Valley Legal Aid Presents: Thank You. |
