When To Request Consideration Of Deferred Action

By Serena Price


Several people who currently reside in the United States may wonder if deferred action applies to them or someone they know. This policy was put in place recently by Janet Napolitano. She stated that children who were very young at the time that they entered the United States and currently did not pose a risk to national security, should not automatically be removed from the country. In fact, these children should be considered for relief from such actions.

This move will make it easier for children who are used to calling the states their home, to remain among people they love and trust and in an environment where they speak the language and understand the culture. While children in this situation may have been born elsewhere, they have very few mental or psychological connections to any place outside of their own American community.

Many people who harbor concerns about this issue can speak with Homeland Security representatives for further clarification. They can also browse the website of this government agency in order to peruse the guidelines set out regarding these cases. However, in some situations, a lawyer may be the best person to help you understand your options.

The Department of Homeland Security has several criteria that young persons must meet before they can be considered for this type of relief. Individuals must not present a risk to public safety. If they can meet the key criteria, they may receive deferred action for two years. This period is subject to renewal.

Persons who qualify through the program may also apply to freely seek employment in the United States. This allows productive persons to remain where they can contribute to the economical growth of their state, instead of having to go somewhere where they cannot thrive because they do not speak the same language and have cultural differences.

People who were under sixteen when their relatives took them to America are generally considered for deferrals. However they cannot be a felon or be on record for committing a violent crime. They are required to have lived in the US without interruption for at least five years and must also be presently residing there. People who graduated high school or are currently studying, or have served as Coast Guard officers or as members of the Armed Forces will be considered.

A person whose case has been deferred has to show economic necessity before they can receive employment authorization. Once they can prove that this is necessary in their case, USCIS will provide the necessary permission so that you can legally seek employment in America. If you want to become a citizen you will need to start that process separately.

Young people who benefit from deferred action can continue studying more comfortably. They will also have fewer concerns about how they will meet their economic needs once they finish school because they can seek employment once the proper authorization has been granted. This allows them to be productive.
