Despite a federal appeals court ruling that declared DACA unlawful, current recipients can continue to renew their status and work permits. However, new applications remain blocked. If you are a current DACA recipient, continue to renew on time - do not let your status lapse. Gather all necessary documents and submit renewals 120-150 days before expiration. While the program's future remains uncertain, advocacy groups continue fighting for permanent solutions. Stay informed through official USCIS channels and consult with an immigration attorney about your individual situation.
