When To Request Consideration Of Deferred Action

By Serena Price


Several people who reside in the US currently may wonder if deferred action applies to their situation or can help someone they know. Janet Napolitano recently put this policy in place. She stated that young children who entered the country with their parents or other relatives and do not presently pose a risk to national security should be given the chance to contribute to the country that they live in. Instead of being automatically sent away, they should be eligible for relief from such action.

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 are worried about these issues may wonder where to seek help. Representatives from Homeland Security can often clarify issues that people have. That department also has a website that is good at outlining the criteria that apply in this case. In addition to that, some persons may seek help from qualified attorneys who can give more peace of mind.

The Department that addresses this issue has several criteria in place that young people must meet before being considered for relief in this category. Individuals should not present any type of danger to public safety. Once the key criteria are met, persons may get deferred action for two years. Usually, this can also be renewed.

Persons who qualify under the program can apply to work freely in the US. In this way, productive individuals can remain in an environment where they can contribute to the growth of the economy, instead of being sent somewhere that has an unfamiliar culture and where they do not even speak the language.

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 who has had their case deferred can obtain employment authorization. However, before they get this they must prove economic necessity. Once USCIS grants this, young people can seek employment legally. Individuals who want to become citizens should make a separate application for that.

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.
