Get screened for other immigration options
Many undocumented immigrants may be eligible for one or more existing immigration options. In fact, a recent study found that 14.3% of DACA recipients are eligible for another form of immigration relief.
We encourage people to go to reputable attorneys and nonprofit organizations—including E4FC's free, online Dreamer Intake Service—for an "immigration check-up" to see if they qualify for any immigration options that offer work permits and more stable immigration status in the U.S. (such as U-visas for crime victims, T-visas for trafficking victims, or special immigrant juvenile status for youth who have been abused, abandoned or neglected by a parent) or more permanent immigrant status (such as a green card through a family member).
To find reputable non-profit legal service providers in your area, visit Immigration Law Help. To find private attorneys, visit www.AILALawyer.org

Share your story
The New York Times has created an American Dreamers story sharing platform and is inviting DACA recipients to share their personal stories.
E4FC is gathering information and stories to illustrate the economic impact of revoking DACA and how DACA recipients and employers do not want this to happen. If you have DACA and are currently working, please fill out E4FC’s DACA Employment Survey. All information will be kept confidential. We will not share information without permission. Questions? E4FC's Executive Director Kathy Gin.
