Children of immigrants who came to the United States as a child face the constant threat of deportation to their parent’s home country. Fortunately, help is available. Our attorneys at The Scott Law Firm, LLC can assist your request for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The program was made possible through the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which is why these individuals are often called “DREAMers.”
