DACA applicants had to be younger than 31 years old when the program began. They also had to prove that they had lived in the United States continuously since June 15, 2007, and that they had arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16.
HOW IS EXPANDED DACA DIFFERENT THAN 2012 DACA? Expanded DACA eliminates the upper age limit on DACA applicants. The 2012 DACA permitted only those less than 31 years old to apply on June 15, 2012. Expanded DACA allows people of any age, as long as they are older than 15 years old, to apply for DACA.
