Hi everyone,

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, as I have been unable to find a DACA forum or similar. I have searched for information on Visajourney, and also my own independent research online. Does anyone know if there is a flow chart, or FAQ or helpful hints available for DACA petitions, as we have for other types? I have already read http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#request from USCIS site, the DACA Wiki here, and just other DACA-related posts (though there really aren't very many regarding the actual process).

Also, has anyone here had experience filing a DACA petition for himself or someone else? I'm asking on behalf of one of my in-laws, who ( I believe) entered the U.S. without inspection at age 11 or 12 with his father. Anyway, I think that I have a general understanding of the paperwork, but some of the documentation may be challenging to collect. So far my in-law has taken no steps because he cannot afford a lawyer. Everyone else in the family feels that he really needs to take some action ASAP while relief is available to him. From those who are experienced, I'm wondering if this is something that he can realistically do himself, or if he would really be better off to consult with a lawyer.

Thank you in advance for your input. We'll be sure to share our experiences if my in-law decides to pursue this.

Thanks again!

I am the Petitioner

From what I have seen much of being able to do it oneself is dependent on wanting to do it oneself. Some people just are not that way inclined.

Sounds to me from what you have posted that one way or the other he is not interested. Not everybody is.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Hi Boiler,

Thank you, that's a good point. I'm basically going to present him with the instructions. You need this form, you fill it this way, this is the cost, you need this document, this is where you find the document, etc. If it's a matter of not knowing what to do or being afraid that a lawyer is needed, those things can be overcome. But, there is nothing to be done if he isn't interested in the first place.

You can lead a horse to water....

There are lots of resources out there, the fact that you are posting and not him says a lot.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
