Why this Form I-821D page is written for Worthington Hills
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Worthington Hills, with a population near 3,200, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Across Columbus Metro, immigration paperwork tends to cluster around three life events: a family member arriving, a green card renewing or being replaced, and a permanent resident reaching the naturalization window. Worthington Hills families work with us to make sure their packet tells one consistent story — the same names, dates, addresses, and relationship facts appear identically across every page.
Worthington Hills sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County. Franklin County, where Worthington Hills is located, is a tight-knit small community where the county clerk's office handles most document needs and federal services require a short drive.
COTA bus service connects the metro, but most appointments require driving — most clients reach our office via I-71, I-270, or Cleveland Ave. From Worthington Hills (ZIP 43085), the trip is roughly 7 miles each way.
Worthington Hills is about 7 miles from our Morse Rd office — roughly a 14-minute drive. Most clients complete their entire packet in a single visit, so the round trip is rarely repeated. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Worthington Hills clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still renew my DACA in 2025–2026?+
As of early 2026, DACA renewals continue to be processed despite ongoing litigation. If your DACA is expiring, file your renewal immediately — 150 to 120 days before your current DACA expires is the USCIS recommendation. New initial DACA applications remain blocked by court order. Asal Multi Services monitors DACA policy closely and can advise you on the current status.
What documents do I need for a DACA renewal?+
For a DACA renewal, you primarily need your most recent EAD card, completed Forms I-821D and I-765, the $85 biometrics fee, and two passport photos. You do not need to re-submit all your original evidence of residence — USCIS already has that on file. Asal Multi Services can prepare your complete DACA renewal package quickly.
Does DACA give me a path to a green card or citizenship?+
DACA itself does not provide a path to lawful permanent residence or citizenship. It is a temporary, renewable protection that prevents deportation and grants work authorization. However, some DACA recipients may qualify for green cards through marriage to a U.S. citizen, family petition, or employment. This depends on your specific situation — Asal Multi Services can discuss your options.
What is the penalty for letting my DACA expire without renewing?+
If your DACA expires, you immediately lose work authorization and the protection from removal. You cannot recover the expired DACA — you would need to start the process from scratch (if you are eligible). There is no grace period after expiration. File your renewal 150 days early to be safe.
