  • Pending Adjustment of Status (I-485 applicants)

  • TPS applicants

  • DACA recipients

  • Asylum applicants

  • Certain visa categories (F-1 OPT, J-2, L-2, E-2, etc.)

Temporary Protected Status (I-821) + Work Authorization (I-765)

TPS allows nationals of designated countries to remain in the U.S. due to unsafe conditions in their home country. Renewing TPS also allows you to renew your Work Permit during the designated re-registration window.

  • You re-register during the official USCIS re-registration period

    What You’ll Need

    • Passport or national ID

    • Previous TPS approval notice

    • Any updated personal information

    • Filing fee or fee waiver request (if eligible)

▶ DACA Renewal (Deferred Action)

Need Help With Your DACA Renewal?

If you want LDHC to assist you with completing the entire DACA Renewal packet, you can purchase the DACA Packet through our website and download all the forms from your account.

DACA recipients must renew every 2 years to maintain deferred action and their work authorization.

Who Qualifies for Renewal

You may renew DACA if:

  • You previously received DACA

  • You have lived in the U.S. continuously since your last approval

  • You have no new criminal history that would affect eligibility

  • You renew ideally 120–150 days before expiration
