My office recently assisted a constituent who had applied to renew his status and employment authorization under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. As recommended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), my constituent had submitted his renewal application to USCIS 120 days in advance of the expiration of his previous employment authorization card. However, after 150 days had passed, and his employment authorization lapsed, my constituent had still not received his new card. In addition, because his employment authorization had lapsed, he was unable to remain employed, which was causing him severe financial hardship. Therefore, my staff contacted USCIS on behalf of my constituent, conveying the details of his situation. Shortly thereafter, USCIS approved the renewal of his DACA status and employment authorization, allowing him to regain his employment. |
