U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Issues FAQ for DACA Recipients’ use of Advance Parole

by Breanne Johnson

by Breanne Johnson

This week U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services authored a FAQ that confirmed DACA recipients may be granted advance parole to travel internationally to non-immigrant consular visa interviews. This guidance is limited to consular interview attendance for employer-sponsor nonimmigrant visas. Any DACA recipients eligible for a nonimmigrant work visa must file for advance parole and have that application approved before leaving the country. Emergency advance parole may also be issued by USCIS in this scenario. For more information, please consult the USCIS DACA FAQs website or reach out to one of our attorneys for a consultation.
