The Department of Homeland Security has published a memo laying out the Deferred Action for Parents (DAP) program in a little more detail. DAP will apply to those individuals who: • have, on the date of this memorandum, a son or daughter who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident; • have continuously resided in the United States since before January 1, 201 O; • are physically present in the United States on the date of this memorandum, and at the time of making a request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS; • have no lawful status on the date of this memorandum; • are not an enforcement priority as reflected in the November 20, 2014 Policies for the Apprehension, Detention and Removal of Undocumented Immigrants Memorandum; and • present no other factors that, in the exercise of discretion, makes the grant of deferred action inappropriate. DHS should start accepting applications within the next six (6) months and the government filing fee will be $465. dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/14_1120_memo_deferred_action.pdf
