Here are the details of President Obama's executive action brought to you by the attorneys of Richards, Brinley & Richards. We are here to help you through this process with over 26 years of immigration law experience. Northern Utah's most respected immigration law firm.
Parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (of any age) who have been continuously present since 1/1/10, and who pass background checks and pay taxes, will be eligible to apply for deferred action, which will be granted for a 3-year period. (Note that parents of DACA recipients are not eligible.) DACA will be revised to eliminate the age cap, and to change the date that continuous presence must have started to 1/1/10.
On enforcement priorities: a new memo will name three enforcement priorities, which will be operational immediately, including suspected terrorists, convicted felons (including aggravated felonies), convicted gang members, and people apprehended on the border, people convicted of serious or multiple misdemeanors, and very recent entrants (i.e., those who entered after 1/1/14).
On timing of filing for adjustment of status: the ability of individuals with an approved employment-based immigrant petition who are caught in the quota backlogs to file for adjustment of status will be advanced to permit them to obtain the benefits of a pending adjustment. This is expected to impact about 410,000 people.
