What is DED?
Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is a form of legal protection for people in the United States. DED is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of dangerous situations, including political conflict.
If you qualify for DED, you can:
- په قانوني توګه په متحده ایالاتو کې د یوې مودې لپاره پاتې شئ
- Apply for a work permit in the USA
- Apply to travel outside the USA

DED is temporary. It does not give you lawful permanent status, citizenship, or any permanent immigration status.
