How to find a trustworthy provider, Arizona organizations that are recognized by the Department of Justice, DACA status in USCIS’s own words, the current fees and where to report a scam.
In USCIS’s own words:
A notario público is not authorized to provide you with any legal services related to immigration. Only an attorney or an accredited representative working for a Department of Justice recognized organization can give you legal advice and represent you in your immigration case.Source: uscis.gov
USCIS forms are free to download. “Do not pay for immigration forms. They are free and available to everyone on our All Forms webpage.”

These lines are copied from the USCIS DACA page. Court orders can change them; the USCIS page is the place to check.
On Jan. 17, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision regarding the DACA Final Rule. Pursuant to the court’s order, USCIS will continue to accept and process DACA renewal requests and accompanying applications for employment authorization under the DACA regulations at 8 CFR 236.22 and 236.23.
USCIS will continue to accept initial requests but will not process initial DACA requests at this time. Current grants of DACA and related Employment Authorization Documents remain valid until they expire, unless individually terminated.
Current valid grants of DACA and related EADs will continue to be recognized as valid under the Final Rule. This means that individuals with DACA and related EADs do not have to submit a request for DACA or employment authorization until the appropriate time to seek renewal.
Deferred action is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status.

“These fees cannot be waived.”
Note: There are no fee waivers available for DACA requests and employment authorization applications connected to DACA.Source: uscis.gov
There are very limited fee exemptions available. Your request for a fee exemption must be filed and favorably adjudicated before you file your DACA request without a fee.Source: uscis.gov
There is often a $50 discount when filing a form online.Source: uscis.gov
We will reject your request if you fail to submit Forms I-821D, I-765, I-765WS, and the correct fees.Source: uscis.gov
When filing by mail, you can pay using a credit, debit, or prepaid card by completing Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions, or you can make a payment directly from a U.S. bank account by completing Form G-1650, Authorization for ACH Transactions.Source: uscis.gov
From the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, edition dated October 26, 2026.
Source: uscis.govAs USCIS has long recommended, we strongly encourage DACA recipients to submit your DACA renewal request to us between 120 and 150 days (4 to 5 months) before the expiration date located on your current Form I-797 DACA approval notice.Source: uscis.gov
Filing during this window reduces the risk that your current period of DACA and employment authorization will expire before you receive a decision on your renewal request. Please note that filing earlier than 150 days before your current DACA expiration date will not result in a faster decision.Source: uscis.gov
We continue to adjudicate the majority of DACA renewal requests within 120 days and make every effort to efficiently process these requests as we receive them.Source: uscis.gov
After USCIS receives your complete request with fees, we will send you a notice scheduling you to visit an ASC to for biometric services. If you fail to attend your ASC appointment, we may deny your DACA request.Source: uscis.gov
An initial DACA requestor: While USCIS will accept your initial DACA request, we are prohibited from granting initial requests or an accompanying application for employment authorization while the order from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas is in effect. If you have an initial DACA request pending, your request is on hold while the court orders are in effect.Source: uscis.gov
A12. At this time, USCIS is not issuing refunds for pending initial DACA requests that remain on hold while the court orders are in effect.Source: uscis.gov
A DACA renewal request includes: A request filed by an individual with a current DACA grant; or A request filed by an individual within one year of the expiration of their prior DACA grant.Source: uscis.gov
If you submit a DACA request more than one year since your last grant of DACA expired or after your most recent DACA grant was terminated (at any time), your request is considered an initial request, not a renewal, under preexisting USCIS policy.Source: uscis.gov
Future court orders may affect USCIS’s ability to accept and approve DACA renewal requests. If that changes, USCIS will publish revised information.Source: uscis.gov
A21. Yes. USCIS will continue to accept and adjudicate applications for advance parole for current DACA recipients.Source: uscis.gov
However, please note that consistent with long-standing DACA policy, if your DACA expires before USCIS approves your renewal request, you do not have DACA for the period between the expiration of your prior DACA and the start of your new period of DACA.Source: uscis.gov
On Sept. 13, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a decision finding the DACA Final Rule unlawful and expanding the original July 16, 2021 injunction and order of vacatur to cover the Final Rule. However, the court maintained a partial stay of the order for “all DACA recipients who received their initial DACA status prior to July 16, 2021.”Source: uscis.gov
In accordance with this decision, USCIS will continue to accept and process DACA renewal requests and accompanying applications for employment authorization under the DACA regulations at 8 CFR 236.22 and 236.23, as it has since October 31, 2022. We will also continue to accept initial DACA requests, but in accordance with the District Court’s order, we will not process initial DACA requests.Source: uscis.gov
Please note: While a July 16, 2021, injunction from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and on Oct. 14, 2022 was extended by the district court to the DACA final rule, remains in effect, DHS is prohibited from granting initial DACA requests and related employment authorization under the final rule.Source: uscis.gov
Arizona groups whose own pages say they help pay the DACA renewal fee or help with the renewal paperwork. Funds can run out; each page has the current details.

We can help you with the DACA process. From helping you organize your paperwork, filling in USCIS forms, to having a volunteer attorney look over your package so it is ready to send!
We encourage you to renew at least 150 days before your DACA expiration date.
From the Department of Justice’s Recognition and Accreditation (R&A) program pages.
An organization is “recognized” when DOJ gives a non-profit organization located in the United States permission to practice immigration law through Accredited Representatives before USCIS (DHS) only (partial accreditation) or before USCIS and EOIR (full accreditation).Source: justice.gov
A representative is “accredited” when DOJ authorizes a specially qualified non-lawyer to represent individuals in immigration legal matters.Source: justice.gov

A fully Accredited Representative may represent individuals before both USCIS and EOIR, which includes the immigration courts and the BIA.Source: justice.gov
Accredited Representatives who have “partial accreditation” are marked “DHS only” next to their name, which means that the Representative can represent clients only before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).Source: justice.gov
Accredited Representatives may only provide immigration legal services through Recognized Organizations. Only non-profit, federally tax-exempt entities may apply to be recognized.Source: justice.gov

These representatives are accredited through the R&A Program, which aims to increase the availability of competent immigration legal representation for low-income and indigent persons, thereby promoting the effective and efficient administration of justice.Source: justice.gov
Organizations that receive initial recognition, must renew their recognition within two years from the approval date.Source: justice.gov
