Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, is now open for applications.  The forms, which include the form for deferred action, work permit forms, etc., can all be found at USCIS.gov.  There are also many documents that need to go into the packet, including but not limited to:

1.  Identity Documentation (passport, birth certificate with ID).
2.  Proof of High School Diploma (or equivilant) or proof of current enrollment
3.  Proof of Continuous residence from 2007-2012
4.  Proof of Presence in the Country on June 15, 2012

Deferred Action (or Dream) also requires that you have no felonies or significant misdemeanors with a maximum of 2 small misdemeanors.  This will be determined by fingerprinting and a full FBI background check.  The USCIS website has many resources available to you to review. 

Many people have chosen to file the forms by themselves.  While it saves money, it would be good to get a professional opinion from an attorney or a local nonprofit (many of whom are running clinics).  Sarah Berry is available for consultations in her Pleasanton office and Tracy office.  Please call to make an appointment.
