Those who may be eligible for deferred action, either as the parent of a US citizen or permanent resident (green card holder) child, or as a child who entered the US before age 16, should continue collecting documents that help them prove that they were physically present in the US for five years before 1/1/2010. For more information on collecting documents for future deferred action applications, go to Deferred Action. Please note that although it may be helpful to begin planning for deferred action, no applications may be filed until the regulations and application procedures are in place.
