Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still renew my DACA in 2025–2026?+

As of early 2026, DACA renewals continue to be processed despite ongoing litigation. If your DACA is expiring, file your renewal immediately — 150 to 120 days before your current DACA expires is the USCIS recommendation. New initial DACA applications remain blocked by court order. Asal Multi Services monitors DACA policy closely and can advise you on the current status.

What documents do I need for a DACA renewal?+

For a DACA renewal, you primarily need your most recent EAD card, completed Forms I-821D and I-765, the $85 biometrics fee, and two passport photos. You do not need to re-submit all your original evidence of residence — USCIS already has that on file. Asal Multi Services can prepare your complete DACA renewal package quickly.

Does DACA give me a path to a green card or citizenship?+

DACA itself does not provide a path to lawful permanent residence or citizenship. It is a temporary, renewable protection that prevents deportation and grants work authorization. However, some DACA recipients may qualify for green cards through marriage to a U.S. citizen, family petition, or employment. This depends on your specific situation — Asal Multi Services can discuss your options.

What is the penalty for letting my DACA expire without renewing?+

If your DACA expires, you immediately lose work authorization and the protection from removal. You cannot recover the expired DACA — you would need to start the process from scratch (if you are eligible). There is no grace period after expiration. File your renewal 150 days early to be safe.
