If you arrived as a child, start here.

DACA is not the only thing that might apply to you, and the rules have changed more than once. We look at your dates, your entries and your family before telling you what you can file.

Starts with a free consultation. You pay nothing until you decide to begin.

What gets filed

2 forms
  • I-821D Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
  • I-765 Application for Employment Authorization

We complete each of these with your answers. An independent immigration attorney reviews the packet before it reaches you.

Who this is for

  • You came to the United States as a child
  • You are not sure whether DACA or another process fits your situation
  • You want someone to check your options before you pay for anything

New USCIS rule

A missing document can now cost you the case, not just time.

Since August 5, 2026, USCIS officers can deny an application outright when required evidence is missing, without first sending a Request for Evidence. USCIS says applicants should not assume they will get a chance to fix a filing after it is sent. The rule applies to cases already waiting, not only to new ones.

Read the USCIS policy alert
  • There may be no letter asking for the document you forgot
  • A denial costs you the filing fee and your place in line
  • Filing again can mean months more waiting, and a record of the denial

This is why we decide how a case should be filed before we file it. We confirm which process you qualify for, prepare every form it requires, organise your evidence in the order USCIS expects, and have an independent immigration attorney review the packet before you send anything.

What happens once it is in the mail.

The consultation exists to sort this out. Nothing gets filed until you know which process is yours.

  1. Alvva

    We prepare it

    You answer questions and upload documents. We complete the forms and an attorney reviews them.

  2. Alvva

    You mail it

    Your packet arrives with instructions for what to sign, what to include and where to send it.

  3. USCIS

    Receipt and biometrics

    USCIS sends a receipt notice, then usually a biometrics appointment. That timing is theirs, not ours.

  4. USCIS

    Interview and decision

    Some cases are interviewed before a decision. We tell you what to expect either way.

What it costs

80% less than working directly with an attorney

Your price is quoted on the consultation and covers the whole packet. USCIS filing fees are separate.

  • Every USCIS form your case requires, completed
  • Your evidence organised and labelled in the right order
  • A review by an independent immigration attorney
  • Instructions for signing, assembling and mailing your packet
  • Someone to call, in English or Spanish, while your case is open

When you pay

  • Free consultation We tell you what you qualify for and what it will cost. No charge, no obligation.
  • First payment to start You share your information and documents. We prepare every form in your packet.
  • Second payment before review Once your forms are complete, you make the second payment and we send the whole packet for attorney review.
  • Attorney review and delivery An independent immigration attorney reviews your application, then you receive the complete packet and step-by-step instructions for mailing it to USCIS.

This is what Alvva charges. USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly to the government. We tell you the exact amount before you file.

Pay the way that works for you.

The same quoted price, three ways to pay it.

Two payments

The standard plan: one payment to start, the second before attorney review.

Pay as you go

Start from $50 and pay the rest in parts that fit your budget.

Schedule your start

Save your card today and pick a start date within the next month. Nothing is charged until then.

About options for Dreamers.

What immigration options are available for Dreamers?
Dreamers have several immigration options including: DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) for work authorization and protection from deportation, advance parole for international travel, adjustment of status if eligible through family or employment, and other pathways depending on individual circumstances. Our attorney-approved platform helps Dreamers understand all available options and navigate USCIS applications successfully.
How much does it cost to apply for DACA as a Dreamer?
The total cost for initial DACA application (Form I-821D) is $495, which includes the USCIS filing fee of $410 and biometrics fee of $85. DACA renewal costs the same. Alvva provides attorney-approved DACA services to help ensure your application is completed correctly and reviewed by qualified professionals before submission to USCIS. This is significantly less expensive than hiring an immigration attorney, which typically costs $1,500-$3,000.
What are the requirements to qualify for DACA?
To qualify for DACA, you must: have arrived in the U.S. before age 16, have been under age 31 as of June 15, 2012, have continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, be currently in school, have graduated high school, obtained a GED, or be an honorably discharged veteran, have no felony convictions or significant misdemeanors, and not pose a threat to national security. Our attorney-approved platform helps determine your eligibility and guides you through the DACA application process with USCIS.
Can Dreamers get a green card?
Yes, Dreamers can get a green card through various pathways including: family-based petitions (if you have a qualifying relative), employment-based petitions, adjustment of status if eligible, or other special programs. The process depends on your individual circumstances. Our attorney-approved platform helps Dreamers explore all green card options and navigate the USCIS application process successfully.
How long does DACA protection last?
DACA protection and work authorization are granted for two-year periods. You must renew your DACA before it expires to maintain protection and work authorization. It's recommended to file renewal 120-150 days before expiration. Our attorney-approved platform helps ensure timely renewals and maintains continuous DACA status with USCIS.
Can Dreamers travel outside the U.S.?
Dreamers with DACA can travel outside the U.S. if they obtain advance parole (Form I-131) before leaving. Advance parole allows travel for educational, employment, or humanitarian purposes. Traveling without advance parole will result in loss of DACA status. Our attorney-approved platform helps Dreamers understand travel restrictions and apply for advance parole when needed.
What happens to Dreamers if DACA is ended?
If DACA is ended, current DACA recipients would lose work authorization and protection from deportation when their current period expires. However, DACA has faced legal challenges before and continues to operate. It's important to stay informed about policy changes. Our attorney-approved platform helps Dreamers understand their rights and explore alternative immigration pathways if needed.
Do Dreamers need an attorney for immigration applications?
No, you don't need to hire an expensive attorney. Alvva provides attorney-approved guidance and review for Dreamer immigration applications (DACA, advance parole, green cards, etc.) at a fraction of the cost. Our platform includes step-by-step instructions, document preparation assistance, and attorney review to ensure your applications are complete and accurate before submission to USCIS.
