DHS Starts Issuing Deferred Action Approvals

The DHS has approved the first set of applications from young illegal immigrants eligible for Deferred Action. The first approvals come just three weeks after the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services started accepting applications for the program announced June 15. The government had estimated previously that it could take months for each application to be reviewed and approved. So far, about 72,000 people have applied to avoid deportation. DHS said background checks, including fingerprinting, are being conducted on each individual before an application can be approved. They initially estimated an average wait time of about four to six months.
