U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) submitted a Federal Register notice announcing new forms and instructions to allow individuals to request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals from USCIS. USCIS has begun accepting completed forms from August 15, 2012. With this, certain people who came to the United States as children and meet other key guidelines may request, on a case-by-case basis, consideration of deferred action. USCIS recently developed a series of resources to inform the on how the process will work.
