Recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program whose renewal applications were delayed in the mail will now be able to resubmit them.
The decision comes after applications to renew the status of dozens of DACA recipients were rejected because they arrived after the deadline.
The acting director of the Department of Homeland Security told the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency that recipients should be able to resubmit their applications if they can prove their original documents were delayed in the mail, The New York Times reported.
