Alert: USCIS Taking Extreme Measures to Retrieve Erroneously Issued 3-Year DACA EAD

AILA Doc No. 15070802 | Dated July 14, 2015

UPDATE (July 14, 2015): During a stakeholder call on the evening of July 14, 2015, USCIS informed stakeholders of the following:

Home visits to collect unreturned 3-year EADs, which were originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 15, had been postponed until Thursday, July 16.
The home visits this week will be treated as a “pilot” in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, and possibly San Francisco. Next week home visits will broaden in geographic scope.
If the DACA recipient is not home, USCIS will not leave behind any written notice of the visit.
If the DACA recipient is home and returns the EAD, a receipt will be provided as proof of compliance. DACA recipients who turn in their EADs at a USCIS field office will also be provided with a receipt.
Letters that include the notice of USCIS’s intention to terminate DACA if the recipient does not return the 3-year EAD by the stated deadline are being sent to the G-28 attorney of record in addition to the DACA recipient.
