On June 15, 2012, the Obama Administration announced that it would offer many DREAM Act-eligible youth temporary relief through “deferred action.” The memorandum offers hope to many eligible young adults by providing a work permit. The State of Illinois is home to over 75,000 DREAM Act-eligible youth. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and the Illinois Department of Human Services have launched the DREAMRELIEF Campaign to serve these young adults.

Instituto del Progreso Latino DACA Workshop – June 8

Instituto del Progreso Latino will host a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals workshop  to meet the demand for information and assistance with DACA applications on JUNE 8, 2013.

Instituto del Progreso Latino  is committed to providing the best possible assistance to applicants eligible for deferred action. However, in this setting, it is not possible to provide a complete analysis of all the details of an applicant’s case. The information provided  should not be used as a substitute for legal advice specific to the facts of your case. This questionnaire is an important tool to help you evaluate whether you are eligible or not for deferred action. To assist you, you must provide us with true and accurate information. If you decide to apply for deferred action without seeking such legal advice, you might be placed in removal proceedings and possibly lose your status as a resident or be deported.

Before registering, you MUST fill this simple survey to determine your eligibility for our workshop.

 

Do you Qualify for our DACA Workshop?

Progress:

Have you ever been STOPPED or ARRESTED by the police in the U.S. or any other country?

Have you ever spent any time (even a few hours) in JAIL or PRISON in the U.S. or any other country?

Have you ever been CHARGED with a CRIME in the U.S. or in any other country?

Have you ever been FOUND GUILTY of any OFFENSE in the U.S. or any other country?

Have you ever been a member of a GANG?

Oakton Community College Group Help Sessions

Oakton Community College and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights will be hosting TWO Group Help Sessions in the Skokie and Des Plaines campuses.

To be part of this help session, you must register to reserve a spot.

Group Help Sessions ARE large group sessions where DREAMers can

  1. fill out their applications step-by-step
  2. learn what documents they need and how to get them
  3. learn about red flags that might hurt their applications, and
  4. ask questions of an attorney or BIA-accredited individual in a group setting.  Group Help Sessions are an important first step that is entirely free to the public.

Group Help Sessions ARE NOT an opportunity to get final legal review of your application.  You will not receive final legal review or one-on-one help of any kind at a Group Help Session, but you will learn how and where to get that legal review if you desire it.

If you aren’t able to reserve a spot, please know that there will be future help sessions throughout the Chicagoland area.

Remember: There is no deadline to apply for deferred action. We recommend that you take your time, collect all required documents and fill out the application completely and correctly.

For more information and upcoming dates for future help sessions, please visit www.DreamRelief.org. If you want to organize your own help session, contact Carrie Fox (cfox@icirr.org) to receive the most updated training materials, to make sure your event is on our calendar, and to make sure that your session is connecting to the long-term work of helping parents, and not just students.

7701 North Lincoln Ave
Skokie, IL 60077-2867
