Circuit Courts. Once the federal district court has decided a case, the case can be appealed to a United States court of appeal. There are twelve federal circuits that divide the country into different regions. The Fifth Circuit, for example, includes the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
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.
Iâm 13 years old. Why canât I apply for DACA? Answer. DACA is meant to help people who arrived in the United States before the age of 16 and are currently in school, have obtained a high school degree or GED, or have honorably completed a tour of military service. A major benefit under DACA is the ability to apply for a work permit. Since most young people under the age of 15 who are eligible for DACA are exclusively focusing on their education (and in many places arenât legally employable), USCIS limits DACA to applicants older than 15.
