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.

On June 10, we are hosting a bike tour w/ @BobbysBikeHike to raise $$ for #FlagDayFest! It should be a great time! http://t.co/pH8iIbtZRf

Elgin DACA Workshop – February 23, 2013

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), Hispanic American Community Education and Services (HACES) and Elgin Community College (ECC) will host a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals workshop  to meet the demand for information and assistance with DACA applications.

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) 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 by ICIRR 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.
