DACA Renewal: Where to Send That Puppy
So, you're a DACA recipient living the Golden State dream. That's awesome! But, let's talk about the less glamorous part: renewing your DACA. We know it's not the most exciting topic, but trust us, it's important.
Where Does This Thing Go?
One of the most common questions we hear is, "Where the heck do I send my DACA renewal?" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to break it down for you.
The short answer: You send it to a USCIS lockbox facility. But, which one? That depends on where you live. Lucky for you, California residents only have one option: Phoenix, Arizona.
Don't Panic, Just Package it Right
Before you slap a stamp on that envelope, make sure you've got everything in order. We're talking about forms, fees, and supporting documents. It's like packing for a trip, but instead of bikinis and sunscreen, you're packing paperwork and patience.
A Word of Caution
Sending your DACA renewal can be a nerve-wracking experience. It's like sending your hopes and dreams through the mail. But remember, millions of people have done it before you and will do it after you. You're not alone in this.
Don't Forget the Tracking Number
We can't stress this enough: get a tracking number. It's like having a GPS for your application. You'll be able to follow its journey and know when it arrives at its destination. It's like watching a really boring reality show, but with less drama.
