The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) issued a Consumer Advisory related to the June 15, 2012 DHS announcement that certain young people who entered the U.S. before the age of 16 will not be removed from the United States.

If you believe you are eligible for deferred action but you are not currently in removal proceedings you cannot apply for deferred action at this time. The government will finalize an application process within 60 days.

Please contact the law firm of Raslan & Pla to determine if you are eligible for deferred action and to find out what are the steps you can take while waiting for the details regarding the application process the government will announce by August 13, 2012.
