Deferred action is a discretionary determination to defer a removal action (the deportation) of an individual as an act of prosecutorial discretion. Deferred action under DACA does not confer legal status upon an individual and may be terminated at any time, with or without a Notice of Intent to Terminate, at DHS’s discretion.
You may request renewal of DACA if you met the initial 2012 DACA guidelines and you:
You may only request renewal of DACA if you previously received DACA and your DACA expired (or will expire) on or after Sept. 5, 2016.
If you previously received DACA and your DACA expired before Sept. 5, 2016, or your most recent DACA grant was previously terminated, you cannot request DACA as a renewal. Instead, you may instead submit a new initial DACA request with evidence that you meet the initial DACA guidelines.
Due to federal court orders on Jan. 9, 2018 and Feb. 13, 2018, USCIS has resumed accepting requests to renew a grant of deferred action under DACA. The scope of the Feb. 13 preliminary injunction issued in the Eastern District of New York is the same as the Jan. 9 preliminary injunction issued in the Northern District of California.
USCIS is not accepting requests from individuals who have never before been granted deferred action under DACA.
Unless otherwise provided in this guidance, the DACA policy will be operated on the terms in place before it was rescinded on Sept. 5, 2017, until further notice.
Immigration law is complex – and getting more so. Much of an immigration attorney’s work is associated with anticipating legal issues, solving legal and pragmatic problems, avoiding delay, and resolving legal complications.
Moreover, strategy is important. When you hire an immigration lawyer, you benefit from the years of experience, legal training, continuing education, and personal and professional relationships of that attorney with the government officers.
Chances are good that the people, plans, and future opportunities that are depending on the outcome of your immigration case deserve good legal representation. Limiting yourself to odds of success of “one in three” is not acceptable.

Got Green Card and Naturalization with Becker & Associates. Wonderful job.
We have our Green Cards! I can't say enough good things about Brian Becker and his team. They explain the process well, reply to your emails immediately and answer your questions professionally and politely. My husband and I have used Brian Becker's services for 6 years to get our first 5 year visa's and then apply for Green Cards. He is kind, considerate and courteous, is always available to help and has amazing team that follow suit. His fees are very fair for the top class service that is given. I would recommend Brian Becker to anyone. Thank you Brian, for everything you have done for us.
For us, 1 November was a new beginning; we have the green card thanks to Brian and all the team. We find in this office great professional people willing to help us with everything we need to achieve the goal that we have. Thank you Becker & Associates; thank you Brian and Ioana.
I have been working with Mr. Becker little over 13 years. Mr. Becker is hands down one of the most trustworthy and genuine individuals you will ever meet. Rest assured that you are in good hands and he is going to do everything in his power to take the best care of your case, along with expediting the process as quickly as possible. I have worked with Mr. Becker several times. It’s rare that an attorney possesses such great attributes in the sense that he is easy to talk to and when he says he is going to get something done, he does it!!! It is with great confidence that I recommend his services to anyone who is need of a lawyer. We would like to thanks Mr. Becker and his great team members Murat Goksen and Sindia Melendez. Great Job. Keep up the good work.
Is a great team!!! Very effective 👌🏻 highly recommended.
Outstanding immigration firm! Attorney Brian Becker was able to get me out of an immigration situation that no other lawyer could have accomplished. If I am today a permanent resident, it is thanks to Attorney Becker and his team. Thank you!
Amazing, reliable lawyer referred to us by AILA. I had several lawyer candidates in my mind, but I decided to go with Brian after I visited his website and met him in person. He has tons of experience, a warm heart and a sense of humor!
Becker & Associates are truly brilliant, professional, polite and kind. You cant go wrong using them! I cant recommend Becker & Associates enough to other people. Great value for money too.
A great attorney with a great staff! Atty Becker, and his staff made us welcome and clearly relayed our options professionally, courteously and thoroughly from day one. My family and I \ truly feel we have made a great choice by retaining him, his staff and his services.
Amazing responsiveness. Well known by Immigration Officers, My procedure was very smooth! Before I knew it and I got my green card. I'm going to work with them to apply for my citizenship etc. I can recommend them to anyone.
He is the attorney you are looking for! It is very important to have someone who speaks your mother language so you can explain your situation better sometimes. They made a very good job through my E2 visa process, and they were very polite, kind and trustworthy people.
Our only address for immigration questions! Brian and his staff have been very informative and helpful over the years. I would strongly recommend.
Mr. Becker helped my husband with a difficult immigration matter. The fee charged was extremely reasonable and the services provided were excellent.
The Best Choice! I had a very challenging immigration situation and was referred to Mr. Becker by another very satisfied client. I went to our first meeting with very little hope, as other attorneys advised me that there was nothing that could be done. Mr. Becker was very professional, treated me with respect and dignity, but more importantly, he showed empathy. Mr Becker successfully resolved my situation and I highly recommend him and his very capable staff. I commend him also for his excellent work ethics and putting his clients first.
I would like to thank you Mr. Brian Becker for my E-2 Visa! I am glad to work with Mr. Brian Becker. When I decided to apply for my E2 visa I talked too many lawyers but Mr.Becker really trustworthy and he is an expert in his field. He explained every single details and answered all of my questions about my investor visa. Also I can keep in touch with him when I needed. No holds, no secretary tricks, nothing. Finally we get 5 years investor visa by courtesy of Mr. Becker. I am very happy working with him and recommend everybody.
I fully endorse Brian! I have known and worked with Brian Becker for many years. He works extremely hard for his clients and makes sure their rights are protected. I fully endorse Brian.
Brian is great - one of the best.! Can't sing his praises enough! He and Marvin have been helping our family for like 7 years. In fact, Brian is the reason I decided to go to law school.
Brian is a top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
Great attorney. I had a very hard immigration issue that other attorney's told me that there's nothing they could do for me. Mr. Becker told me that I was eligible for a waiver. We applied and we won the case. He saved my and my family's life and helped us to achieve our American dream. Thank you.
A Pro Lawyer Firm on Immigration Cases! After having lots of problems with INS, I decided to hire Becker & Associates. I realized that I wasted my time with previous lawyers, plus the money I spent. It is the key point to work with a lawyer who knows what to do on INS cases . Thanks to his team too - great work!
Perfect team! I've been working with Mr Becker's team for 3 years and they helped me obtain F and H1 visas with a great professional manner. I've worked with several other attorney's before, Brian is the best I've encountered!
