Administrative Relief – The Basics

Resource

On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced executive action to modify immigration policy that is likely to provide temporary protection from deportation or “deferred action” for up to 1.5 million Californians. Through deferred action, a person is authorized to remain in the United States temporarily and to receive employment authorization. A grant of deferred action does not provide a path to lawful permanent resident status or U.S. citizenship.
