declaration

For DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) beneficiaries, the road to a secure future in the United States can be challenging. DACA provides vital protections, including deferred action, safeguarding against deportation, and granting work permits. However, to ensure these benefits continue, it's essential for DACA recipients to maintain their status through timely renewals.

What is a Declaration?

A declaration is a detailed explanation that outlines the reasons necessitating the issuance of an advance parole document. This document is crucial for DACA recipients and immigrants seeking to travel internationally for educational, employment, humanitarian, or personal reasons while their AOS application is pending. It provides USCIS with a comprehensive understanding of the applicant's situation and the importance of travel during the application process.

Why Do You Need a Declaration?

The declaration serves as supporting evidence to justify the need for an advance parole document when submitting applications to USCIS. It helps demonstrate:

​

  • Travel Reasons: Clarifies the purpose of travel, such as attending academic conferences, family reunification, humanitarian missions, or professional development.

  • Critical Circumstances: Explains urgent or compelling reasons that necessitate international travel during the Advance Parole or AOS process.

  • Legal Compliance: Ensures compliance with USCIS requirements by providing a thorough and compelling explanation of the need for advance parole.
