Free Legal Clinic – DACA Renewal (Virginia)

VIRGINIA FREE LEGAL CLINIC FOR DACA RENEWAL

 

On September 5th, President Trump’s administration announced that they would be winding down the DACA program. As such, DACA holders who hold DACA status with an expiration date on or before March 5th, 2018 must file a renewal before October 5, 2017 if they wish to extend their status one last time. It is estimated that there are around 12,000 young immigrants in Virginia who are currently protected by the DACA program with many able to/needing to file a renewal before the October 5th deadline. In response, the Legal Aid Justice Center, Hogar Immigrant Services, Ayuda, Just Neighbors, Northern Virginia Family Services, Sin Barreras, George Mason University, PLUMAS at Virginia Commonwealth University, Sacred Heart Center and others are organizing free legal clinics to help DACA holders as they work to file their renewal paperwork.
