New Deferred Action form is Here
WASHINGTON—
Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) submitted a Federal Register notice announcing new forms and instructions to allow individuals to request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals from USCIS.
USCIS will begin accepting completed forms tomorrow, August 15, 2012. On June 15, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet
Napolitano announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet other key guidelines may request, on a case-by-case basis, consideration of deferred action.
“The release of the new form and instructions to allow individuals to request consideration of deferred action for childhood
arrivals from USCIS marks an important step in our implementation of this new process,” said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. “While requests should not be submitted until August 15 it is important that individuals wishing to be considered for deferred action understand the requirements necessary to demonstrate eligibility to be considered.”

Deferred action requests are generally made to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office with jurisdiction over the person. Factors that a field office takes into consideration in deciding requests include: the likelihood of the individual’s ultimate removal from the United States; sympathetic factors which may generate a large amount publicity; the need for the individual’s presence to assist law enforcement in an on-going investigation or prosecution of a case; and, whether the individual is a member of a class of deportable noncitizens whose removal has been given high enforcement priority, for example, terrorists or drug traffickers.
