USCIS Decided to Stop giving deferred action
USCIS issued policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to eliminate automatic consideration of deferred action (and related employment authorization) for Special Immigrant Juveniles (SIJs) who are ineligible to apply for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident status due to visa unavailability. Feedback is due 7/7/25.
This guidance confirms that USCIS will no longer consider granting deferred action on a case-by-case basis to SIJs who are ineligible to apply for adjustment of status solely due to unavailable immigrant visas. This update, contained in Volume 6, Part J, Chapter 4: Adjudication, is effective immediately and applies to individuals classified as SIJs before, on, or after that date based on an approved Form I-360. The guidance contained in the Policy Manual is controlling and supersedes any related prior guidance.

yogesh garg Jun 9, 2025
and everyone just send feed back to policyfeedback@uscis.dhs.gov that its the worst decision made by immigration and put all the youth at a risk of deportation and they can't live without work permit anymore so make the previous policy of deffered action and employment authorization???? everyone share this post and send the feedback to USCIS that you are exploiting the SIJS children instead of protecting???
Bhupinder SinghJun 9, 2025
@yogesh garg yes I was thinking about sending feedback and I will send it today
Simran kumarJun 9, 2025
i think the new policy will not affect our applications
Simran kumarJun 9, 2025
i will consult my lawyer today
yogesh garg Jun 9, 2025
yes because its written that the previous granted deffered action and employment authorization will retain untill the validity expired
yogesh garg Jun 9, 2025

Simran kumarJun 9, 2025
i have talked to my lawyer they said it is for the new applications of ead and there is no guideline regarding any previous ead applications
yogesh garg Jun 9, 2025
no guidelines for previous means what now will the previous granted deffered action will get the work permit based on SIJS deffered action approval or not ???
yogesh garg Jun 9, 2025

Alexander shatzelJun 9, 2025
@yogesh garg I’m in similar position but different I applied for deferred action before June 6 and got the old code DA01 so I don’t know what’s gonna happen to me either
Alexander shatzelJun 9, 2025
@yogesh garg no attorney can know what’s gonna happen
yogesh garg Jun 10, 2025
what is this now DA01 old code ?
look i got my i360 SIJS approval with deffered action in February and applied my i765 in last week of feb ?? so do u have the same situation?? and no other case like asylum or any visa like me nothing just only SIJS case???
Alexander shatzelJun 10, 2025
@yogesh garg why would you mix a asylum and sijs ? makes no sense
Damian LiJun 10, 2025
