The workshop is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at 1102 E. Moody Blvd. It will provide immigrants information on the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program, also called DAPA. It will also deal with DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to a press release.

“It’s designed to help people get a handle on this thing,” said attorney Edward Oddo Jr., who will present information at the workshop.

One way to get a handle on things is not to wait until the last minute to start looking for documents, Oddo said. Start getting birth certificates and other documentation together now, he said.

“Get everything together now so when the regulations go into effect you will be ready,” Oddo said.

A date has not been set when DAPA applications can be submitted or for DACA, according to the National Immigration Law Center website. That’s because a federal court has temporarily put a hold on both programs.
