On November 20, 2014 President Obama made a landmark announcement when he discussed his plan to issue an Executive Order that would do two things; first, it would expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, more commonly referred to as DACA. Next he announced plans to accept requests for Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, now known as DAPA. Many individuals are anxiously awaiting more information about the new expansions. In an effort to help individuals understand who will be eligible, USCIS has issued some guidelines about who may expect to qualify.
