What Is Deferred Action?

Deferred action is a type of protection the US government can grant to someone who may otherwise be deported. Once granted, it allows people to remain in the US for a specified period, receive public benefits (like social security), and even gain work authorization.

As noted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), deferred action does not "confer lawful immigration status." This means it will not allow someone to obtain a visa or Green Card. However, it can provide much-needed relief and give recipients time to explore legal immigration options.

When Can You Seek Deferred Action?

You can seek deferred action in various circumstances, such as when you are threatened with deportation proceedings or have a final removal order. You may also request it if you have been granted voluntary departure and need more time to prepare.
