Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a federal program that provides undocumented individuals who were brought to the United States as children with: (1) Temporary relief from deportation and (2) Work authorization. While it does not provide lawful status or a pathway to citizenship, DACA recipients may receive renewable two-year periods of deferred action. Eligibility requirements include continuous residence in the U.S. since June 2007, meeting educational or military service criteria, and having no serious criminal convictions.
