Deferred action is a use of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Individuals who came to the United States as children and meet certain specific guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years. This deferred action is also subject to renewal after the initial two years has elapsed. Petitioners granted deferrals are also eligible to legally work in the United States. However, deferred action does not provide lawful immigration status.
