>Deferred Action for Non-immigrant Deportation takes effect today. Federal reminder not to make false claims (Alberta Times) The biggest change in U.S. immigration regulations in recent decades will take effect on the 15th. Effective immediately, people aged 15 to 31 who came to the United States as children and have lived in the United States for more than five years, but who are in school, high school graduates, and honorably discharged without legal status, can apply to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a two-year Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals starting from the 15th. There is no time limit for this application and it can be extended after two years. However, the suspension of deportation is not legalization of status. Applicants are not allowed to leave the country or become a U.S. citizen. They can only get over the fear of being deported and work and file taxes in the United States. Approximately 1.7 million young illegal immigrants could benefit from this. Since President Obama suddenly announced this new rule, the Immigration Bureau has been working hard to launch the implementation details two months later. Immigrant communities across the United States have begun to hold counseling sessions to help young illegal immigrants fill out application forms. On the afternoon of the 14th, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the new I-821D form ( http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/files /form/i-821d.pdf ) and application guide ( http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/files/form/i-821dinstr.pdf ) specifically for such so-called "Dream Chaser" applications. USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas pointed out at a press conference on the 14th that applicants must also send the new I-821D form, as well as the I-765 form and I-765WS form applying for authorized work (which can also be downloaded from the official website of the USCIS http://www.uscis.gov), plus all required supporting documents and an application fee of US$465. In addition, those who wish to receive application information via email or text message must submit Form G-1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petitioner Acceptance, http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-1145.pdf). Mayorkas said that staff are ready to handle the influx of applications, but this does not mean that non-immigrants will definitely get full legal residency. The Bureau exercises its discretion and handles each application on a case-by-case basis. Those who are rejected can no longer appeal. He also said that there is no time limit for application. Those under 15 years old can wait until they turn 15 before applying. He said that as long as the applicant is under 16 years old when coming to the United States, he can come to the United States on his own and does not need to accompany his parents when entering the United States. The new approach is to encourage learning. Even if you are not currently studying, you will be eligible as long as you are studying when you apply. National security officials say some of the influx of applications are fake, but officials will be able to identify the falsifiers. Counterfeiting threatens national security and leaves counterfeiters with serious criminal records. Analysts pointed out that these fraud issues will have an extremely negative impact on Obama's upcoming presidential election in November. Prior to this, some Republicans should have accused Obama of bypassing Congress to "open a back door" and provide "asylum" for illegal immigrants. Critics say Obama's move is purely an electoral move to buy votes, tantamount to an amnesty without the consent of Congress, and encourages the illegal to become legal. At the same time, when the unemployment rate in the United States is as high as 8.3%, the sudden release of more than 1 million young workers into the job market is tantamount to depriving legal people of job opportunities in this difficult time. At the same time, it also increases the government's expenditure on handling the case, because approval is done on a case-by-case basis, which is labor-intensive. However, the Ministry of Homeland Security said the application fee paid by the applicant should be enough to cover expenses. And even after Republican Romney is elected to power, Obama's new policies that are friendly to illegal immigrants will continue to be implemented. Mark Krikorian, director of the Immigration Policy Center, a Washington think tank that opposes illegal immigration, said Romney would not dare to cancel this new rule even after taking office. At least those who have already applied for a stay of deportation will not have to worry.
