JoseG 383 Posted August 23, 2012 This isn't the Dream Act, this is called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This isn't a law, and it does not provide a path to citizenship nor does it remove someones unlawful status. It simply prevents you from being deported for 2 years and gives you a work permit. One of the requirements is to have lived here in the US for the past 5 years, which is from June 15, 2007 until the date you file. Since you have only been living here for 3 years, you do not qualify for Deferred Action. Since Deferred Action isn't a law, it can be terminated by congress or the president at ANY time. If the program is still active, you can apply for Deferred Action once you reach the 5 year requirement of continuous residence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
