I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), a national organization of attorneys focused on assisting immigrants with their needs. The group has a relationship with all immigration agencies, including Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
DHS advised AILA about information regarding the current processing time for Deferred Action/Dream Act applicants. So far, it will take one month from getting a receipt notice to receiving a biometrics appointment. The process will average around 4-6 months for the first group of Deferred Action/Dream Act applicants. Thereafter, they anticipate a longer processing time as more people apply.
