August 24 Webinar & Call for Young LGBT Immigrants

Young LGBT Immigrants: You may be eligible for immigration relief and work authorization!

On August 15, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security rolled out its new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program which President Obama announced in the Rose Garden two months ago.

Under DACA, eligible undocumented youth under the age of 31 may be given a type of temporary permission to stay in the U.S. called “deferred action.” Deferred action will be valid for two years and may be renewed at the end of the two years. Individuals who receive deferred action will receive employment authorization.

Join a webinar / call to find out if you are eligible to apply for deferred action and employment authorization! Find out how to apply and resources available to assist you with your application!
