If your DACA is about to expire, you’re probably thinking:
• “Do I need a lawyer to renew DACA?”
• “Can I do this myself?”
• “I don’t have money for legal help — what can I do?”
• “Is it hard to renew DACA?”
You’re not alone.
Many people in Arizona and across the U.S. face the same situation every
year.
Here’s the truth:
π Many individuals choose to renew
their DACA on their own, especially when their case is straightforward.
This guide explains the general process so you can understand how it
works.
