DACA application update

Quote:

As of Aug. 1, 2019, USCIS is returning to a one-year filing window across the board for requesting renewal of an expired period of DACA. This will bring current practices into alignment with USCIS’ “late renewal policy” that was in effect prior to Sept. 5, 2017. (See ARCHIVED FAQ, Q50). Accordingly, if you previously received DACA and your most recent period of DACA expired one year ago or less, you may still file your DACA request as a renewal request. Please list the date your prior DACA ended in the appropriate box on Part 1 of the Form I-821D.

Is this new information?

Re: DACA application update

You gotta keep reading. That note is only for those who have had DACA and expired more than a year ago:

"If you previously received DACA and your most recent period of DACA expired more than one year ago, or your most recent DACA grant was previously terminated, you cannot request DACA as a renewal but you may nonetheless file a new initial DACA request in accordance with the Form I-821D and Form I-765 instructions. To assist USCIS with reviewing your DACA request for acceptance, if you are filing a new initial DACA request because your most recent period of DACA expired more than one year ago, or because it was terminated at any time, please list the date your prior DACA expired or was terminated on Part 1 of the Form I-821D, if available."

Not sure why anyone would let their DACA expire for that long, but i guess it does happen...
