Q: What's the next step after my DACA renewal was denied?
In June 2015 I applied to renew my DACA and if they're waiting 90 days it was denied simply for the fact that "USCIS has a ready deferred action in your case" which was approved and I had a work permit for two years, also in the letter it states "the denial of the instant forms I – 821D and I – 76 f does not affect the previous determination that US CI S made to defer action in your case". I'm just very confused because if I'm already entitled to having my DACA, then why was it denied? What's the next step? Do we have to wait another five months to hear back from them? Does that mean I have to pile up another extra five months of unemployment? What's the next step?
A:
If they are waiting 90 days, it does not matter your DACA renewal is simply denied. Having said that, we need to see the actual notice sent to you in order to tell you what the actual reason for denial is. Just by looking at the information you have provided it seems as if you applied prematurely, or applied too late. Talk to an immigration attorney in private to get more information regarding this issue. All the best.
