DACA & TPS Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide
Protection, renewal, and peace of mind delivered with urgency and care. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and TPS (Temporary Protected Status) provide critical protection for individuals whose safety, stability, and ability to work in the United States depend on timely and accurate filings.
At Haim Vasquez Legal Group, we move quickly and strategically to protect your status, prevent lapses, and help you plan for the future with confidence.
These programs are lifelines. Deadlines matter. Policy changes happen fast. Our role is to make sure nothing is missed and that you are never navigating this alone.
About DACA & TPS
For many individuals and families, DACA and TPS are not just immigration programs. They are the foundation of daily life in the United States. Work authorization, protection from removal, travel options, and long-term planning all depend on staying compliant with evolving rules and strict deadlines.
Both programs are subject to ongoing litigation, policy shifts, and re-registration requirements. Even small mistakes or missed deadlines can result in loss of protection, work authorization delays, or serious immigration consequences.
Our role is to make the process clear and manageable. We take time to understand your full immigration history, explain your options honestly, and guide you through every step with urgency, accuracy, and trusted legal support.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
DACA provides protection from deportation and work authorization to individuals who came to the United States as children and meet specific eligibility requirements. Because DACA policies continue to change, careful legal guidance is essential. We assist with:
-
Initial DACA applications (Form I-821D, I-765, I-765WS)
-
DACA renewals and employment authorization updates
-
Gathering required evidence, including:
School and education records
Medical records
Proof of continuous physical presence - Advance Parole applications for international travel (Form I-131)
- Legal counseling for DACA recipients with criminal or immigration concerns
- Case reviews for individuals impacted by recent court decisions or policy changes
- Arrival in the U.S. before age 16 and before June 15, 2007
- Under age 31 as of June 15, 2012
- Continuous residence in the U.S. since June 15, 2007
- Currently in school, graduated, or honorably discharged from the U.S. military
- No serious criminal history
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
TPS is a temporary immigration status granted to nationals of certain countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that make return unsafe.
TPS provides protection from removal and eligibility for work authorization—but only if deadlines and re-registration requirements are met. We assist with:
- TPS initial applications and re-registration (Form I-821)
- Employment authorization applications and renewals (Form I-765)
- Travel authorization (Form I-131)
- Late initial filings and TPS-related waivers
- Appeals and motions to reopen denied TPS cases
- Evaluating eligibility to adjust status or pursue a green card while under TPS
TPS-designated countries (subject to DHS updates) include: Venezuela, El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua, Ukraine, Syria, and Sudan.
We closely monitor DHS announcements, re-registration windows, and ongoing litigation so you do not miss a critical opportunity or deadline.
Document Preparation & Filing Support
Accurate filings are essential. Errors, missing documents, or outdated information can lead to delays or loss of protection. Our firm assists with:
- Preparing and reviewing all USCIS forms
- Organizing supporting documentation
- Identifying potential red flags before filing
- Responding to Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
- Tracking deadlines and renewal windows
- Ensuring filings are complete, accurate, and timely
We approach every case with precision—because your status and livelihood depend on it.
