CMSC Launches New Program to Challenge
USCIS Discriminatory Denial of DACA
recipients Advance Parole Applications

The CMSC team met with Rep. Alan Lowenthal and senior deputy Irantzu Pujadas,
to discuss the third phase of the National Campaign to Restore DACA's Advance
Parole on July 3, 2019, at his Long Beach, CA. district office.
The CMSC team met with Rep. Alan Lowenthal and senior deputy Irantzu
Pujadas, to discuss the third phase of the National Campaign to Restore
DACA's Advance Parole on July 3, 2019, at his Long Beach, CA. district office.

Given the great success of our recent advocacy efforts to restore DACA’s
Advance Parole in Washington, D.C., we are pleased to announce that the
CMSC is launching an Advance Parole Application Fund Drive for DACA
recipients that have urgent reasons to apply for humanitarian Advance Parole,
to tend to loved ones suffering from serious illness but cannot afford to pay the
$575 application fee.
Consequently, we are raising funds to allow Dreamers to apply for Advance
Parole, although the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is
currently denying this benefit, to pressure them and the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) to follow the court orders that reinstated DACA and to increase
the awareness of Congress about the humanitarian cases and real-life stories
behind Dreamer’s need for Advance Parole.
Since 2012, DACA recipients have been able to apply for an Advance Parole
travel authorization to pursue humanitarian, educational and employment
opportunities abroad. But on Sept. 5, 2017, the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) suspended the approval of Advance Parole for DACA recipients
after the Trump Administration ordered to rescind the DACA program.

Even though court orders have ruled continuation of the DACA program since
January 2018, DHS has denied the ability for DACA recipients to apply for
Advance Parole since September 5, 2017. As a result of this administrative
practice, DACA recipients have been unable to be with their loved ones during
critical moments, and/or to take advantage of important educational and
employment opportunities abroad.

We currently have at least 25 Dreamers that will apply this month and our goal
is to offer the $575 fee and our staff assistance to up to 50 Dreamers during the
month of July 2019.

We also plan to offer this program to Dreamers that need to pursue employment
opportunities that require foreign travel, and we recently provided assistance to
3 Dreamers that need expedited Advance Parole approval, in order to participate
in graduate education programs abroad this fall.
We especially want to support those DACA recipients who have very urgent
humanitarian needs to be able to unite with their family members in critical times
of hardship.

Thus, our fundraising goal for this phase of our National Campaign to
Restore DACA’s Advance Parole is $50,000 to cover the AP application fee,
our staff assistance, and handling fees to cover the total cost of $1,000 per
DACA recipient for 50 Dreamers to secure expedited approval of their
applications.

However, the CMSC staff will be able to assist with the preparation of the
Advance Parole application and filing fees, depending on the amount of funding
that we are able to raise.

Given our 5 years of experience taking Dreamers to study abroad in Mexico, we

will also provide guidance and assistance obtaining the necessary supporting
documents for each application and their congressional letters of support.

The CMSC was energized by our recent advocacy by 30 Dreamers at the Capitol
and pleased to move forward with the 3rd phase of our National Campaign to
Restore DACA’s Advance Parole.

The continued denial of Advance Parole for DACA recipients is arbitrary,

discriminatory, inhumane and causing Dreamers great emotional suffering.
