Happy New Year 2013! Well, 2012 was certainly a year where immigration reform, as a concept, was much often mentioned by the Washington politicians, but only small gains were actually made to reform immigration. Most notably, the DREAMers Act was not enacted but then DACA was enacted. DACA allows children who arrived undocumented in the United States through no fault of their own to apply to gain temporary status which allows them to legally remain in the United States and to be permitted to work. There is a list of criteria necessary in order to file a DACA application and whether or not it is the best solution for you can only be determined by a review of your specific facts. This is one option among other legal immigration options which can be explored for someone who is currently undocumented.
