Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals under DREAMER program
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program remains in flux. President Trump's announced on September 5, 2017 that no new DACA cases could be filed and he gave a one-month window for extensions. However, a federal judge ruled in January 2018 renewals must be permitted for those in DACA status, pending Congressional action, and the U.S. Supreme Court voted Feb. 26, 2018 to let that ruling stand for now.

Therefore, we are re-opening DACA Bot, as a public service to Dreamers who would like to avoid legal fees in filing their renewals. We’ve included the templates and decision flows used in pro bono cases by Pearl Law Group, one of the nation’s largest immigration firms.

Many are wondering: Will the DACA approved people later have their status revoked? Will federal agents come hunt down those who apply? “If this were the intention of the Trump Administration, we believe DACA would not have been exempted from the new deportation procedures announced this week,” Julie Pearl.
Applicants who worry that the government will seek to find them may be encouraged to know that the application does not require them to give their own home as the current mailing address for the submission (though one section in the form asks separately about all residences since arrival in the US). One excerpt from DreamerBot on this point:
Which address to use? Make sure you give an address where your approval document (including the EAD) can be safely received. The US Postal Service is not allowed to forward these documents to another address, per the instruction on the approval envelope. As there have been reports of EADs stolen in the mail, it’s best to have mail come to a location that is secure during mail delivery hours. If you may move in the next several months or are concerned about mail safety at your current regular address, you can make arrangements with a trusted family, company, church or other place of worship. Example: "Your First/Last Name, C/O Memorial Church, In Care of Pastor Pat Brown, 123 Main Street, Hometown, USA 12345"
