Navigating immigration policies can feel like walking through a maze. For many immigrants, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is critical for living and working in the United States. This blog post provides essential resources to help you stay updated on DACA renewals and understand recent legal changes. With this information publicized by United We Dream, you can confidently take action and make informed decisions about your DACA status.





Understanding DACA Renewal in 2025


If you are looking to renew your DACA status, it is important to understand that the process is expected to change in 2025. United We Dream has created a detailed guide to help you through this renewal process.


The guide breaks down the renewal process into clear steps, making it easier for you. It outlines the necessary documents, deadlines, and tips to complete your application accurately. For example, you will need to submit forms like the I-821D, I-765, and I-765WS to ensure your application is complete. Knowing ahead of time what documents are needed can save you precious time and frustration, as incomplete applications can lead to delays.


According to United We Dream, here are the steps DACA applicants should take when renewing:


  1. Find Your Previous DACA Renewal Application

  2. Create a Free USCIS Account Online

  3. Accurately fill out all your forms.

  4. Pay the $495 Fee

  5. Upload Supporting Documents

  6. Track Your Case Online





The 5th Circuit’s Mandate: Potentially Opening up First-Time Applications


United We Dream summarized the most recent and important news regarding the future of DACA. A recent ruling from the 5th Circuit Court could potentially allow first-time DACA applications to be processed across all 50 states, which is something many have been waiting for. However, it also carries a concerning possibility, it could end access to work permits for DACA recipients living in Texas. All DACA recipients, including those in Texas, should still be protected from deportation.

"If a DACA recipient in Texas is detained, please get in touch with us. All DACA recipients should still be protected from deportation." (UWD Staff, 2025)

Things aren't changing instantly as the Trump administration has not yet issued an official respond to this ruling. For DACA recipients currently living in Texas, United We Dream states that, for now, you still have access to your work authorization and can continue to renew your DACA. If you are a DACA recipient in Texas, it's crucial to stay informed by texting DACA INFO to 787-573


For those who might be considering applying for DACA for the first time, while the court mandate should technically mean that applications are open and processed, no new applications have actually been processed as of yet according to USCIS. There's also a large backlog of over 90,000 first-time applications from 2021 that could cause delays for any new applications. It is absolutely essential to consult with a trusted immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative before applying and beware of scams; Notarios cannot legally help with DACA applications.
