Great news for Dreamers and immigrant families — DACA is back!
A recent federal court order has directed both USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume accepting initial DACA applications.
This is a major victory for young immigrants across the country who have been waiting for the chance to apply for protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
What Does the New DACA Update Mean?
If you have never applied for DACA before, or if you submitted an initial DACA application that was not processed by USCIS, this court order now allows you to apply or reapply.
This means more individuals can gain temporary protection from deportation and access essential benefits while living and working in the United States.
Why You Should Apply for DACA in 2025
Here are the key benefits of DACA you should know:
- Work Authorization — Receive official permission to work legally in the United States.
- Social Security Number — Apply for your Social Security card to start building credit and financial stability.
- Driver’s License — In many states, DACA recipients can obtain a valid driver’s license.
- Two-Year Legal Status — Enjoy renewable protection from deportation and remain lawfully present in the U.S.
- Advance Parole — In urgent humanitarian cases, DACA holders can apply to travel abroad legally and return under advance parole.
