Achieve Your Dreams with the DACA DREAMer Personal Loan

DACA personal loans at Madison WI credit union
Dreams come true with a DACA personal loan.

On June 15, 2012, President Obama signed an executive order establishing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. With this initiative, those individuals who came to the United States as children and meet specific guidelines may be considered for deferred action over two years. Subject to renewal, deferred action does not provide lawful status but it does open a window to those who grew up in the United States and consider it home.

Not sure if you qualify? You may be eligible if you meet the following conditions:

  • You were under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012
  • Came to the United States prior to your 16th birthday
  • Have continuously lived in the U.S. since June 14, 2007
  • Were physically present in the U.S. on June 15, 2012
  • Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012
  • Are currently in school, have graduated high school, obtained a GED certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard or Armed Forces
  • Have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
