ok, i had a question about filing out the EAD (I-765) form and was wondering what category we, DACA apps, would fall into. And Here is the answer. This explains that there could be a different EAD app for us DACA apps. Please read it so that you can stay informed and when the time comes, you'll fill out the right EAD form.

Hello Tano123, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska are among the U.S 50 states, Hawaii being the 50th state and Alaska the 49th and so on. Assuming that you are granted deferred action and later you're able to acquire a driver's license, that is all you will need to travel there (including the U.S virgin Islands). So to answer your question, no, advanced parole does not apply to U.S states, it does apply however, if you want to travel abroad. Here's a link which lists the necessary IDs to travel within the U.S: http://www.tsa.gov/t..._documents.shtm

so we can't leave the country unless we apply for advanced parole, does it apply for hawaii, alaska, and puerto rico too?

ok, so maybe this will help some of you that are asking what happens after you fill your DACA app. i dont know that things will happen this way for sure but it might give a sense of what to expect. First, you'll fill your DACA and EAD together and pay the $465 which also includes the biometrics. Second, after you've mailed in your DACA and EAD app, USCIS will send you a letter saying thy have recieved it. Now, you will need to read the letter carefully because USCIS may tell you where to go to have your Biometrics done. Biometrics are just USCIS taking your fingerprints and maybe your picture in order to do your background check. If the first letter doesnt not included this information, the USCIS will send a second letter with this information. After your background check comes back and all is clean, you will given a EAD card. it is usually mailed to you. Once you have your EAD card, you can take it to the Social Security Office and apply for a SSN. you can go to www.ssa.gov and info about what you will need when you apply for a SSN. After you have recieved your SSN, usually takes 10 to 14 days, you can take it to the DMV and apply for a DL and/or State ID Now, like i stated before, this is roughly how the process will go. depending on your case, things may go a little differently. Hope this helps feel free to ask any questions y'all may have,

true that DACA only gives us 2 yrs but it is RENEWABLE*. which means about a 3 to 6 months before your DACA and EAD expire you just apply again.

Rodrigovela17: If you read my response and pswa83 responses, you'd see your questions were answered. Lets break it down by listing your questions. 1.Do you have to apply to deffered action first, get accepted and then apply for the work permit ? When you submit your deferred act application, you will also submit your employment authorization application (work permit) 2.I was wondering because don't you need some type of number for the work permit application? I dont understand this question, when you say number, Im assuming you're referring to a social security number. Your social security number will be assigned to you after your employment application is approved. Is this all clear? If not, let me know, I'll try and help you the best I can.

Rodrigovela17, that is why you will submit both form at the same time. Once your DACA app is approved you EAD app will be approved as well. Once, you have your EAD card, you can take it so the SSA office and apply for a SSN.

If you pay your tickets and have no warrants on them, you be fine.. they are looking for bigger misdemeanors!

Thanks:)

I'll catch up with you on monday pswa83, we've got to keep each other informed and united as a team.

True that ^

i dont think the Dream Act will be passed this year. Im very happy the Deferred Act was passed this year, and cant avoid the fact that most likely it was passed to get the support and votes of the Latin community. Dont get me wrong, Im thankful for what we have obtained (Deferred Act) but after waiting for soo many years, I cant help wanting more..like the Dream Act Im also aware of the truth and I dont think the Dream Act is a priority this year. Hopefully next year....
