Hello mayra, Your worries and concerns are far understandable considering we're getting so close to the day we've waited for so much. We all want our application process to go smooth and successful. So mayra, from the information I've seen from various sources, it all suggests that we will be getting our applications online, meaning you print them, fill them out. Once everything is ready you then send them to a specific adress depending on your region along with a money order. I've also read, that in the case your application and evidence is being reviewed and the adjudicator finds the evidence insufficient, they will send you a letter to request more evidence. This will obviously delay your application process for review. So the first time you think you're ready to send your app and evidence, be sure you send them as much evidence possible. Note: Official guidelines are to be released the 15th, all information above is not official.

Okay well , i been hearing about this dream act situation and well , im lost i dont know what to do ! where so i start , what should i do right now to get ready . i think im able to get it someone help me please .

Itzel, that is AWESOME!!!

I just picked up my notarized/translated birth certificate. I paid $34 dollars for it and it was PERFECT. No mistakes whatsoever on the translation and it even has a letter included by a notary certifying the translation. I recommend 100%

Dreamsearcher, I have seen from multiple sources that the more evidence you can provide the better. However, I have also seen that if you're going to present any evidence, it cannot have fake/false information about you. You're work stub are good evidence to show, something very important to look at is that these stubs show a fake or made up SS# that is not yours. If that's the case, it is not a good idea to show them. It does not matter if an applicant has worked using a fake or made up ss# as long as you don't give them evidence showing fraudulent information. In your case, it is the fake SS# on your stubs. Think of other ways to get evidence, ask your employer to provide the job contract. If you have a bank account, use the monthly statements.

Itzel, sorry to hear about your experience with those people. I have seen statistics about the amount of potential beneficiaries that are in states such as Texas and California. I'm almost certain that for any organization helping to offer dreamers filing their forms and such, are going to experience an overwhelming amount of people. I live in Massachusetts, I have previously attended community meetings and I can tell you that the number of people is very low. One of the meetings that I attended was announced by the radio and even so, less than twenty people attended. I'm scheduled to attend another meeting this thursday, on a big spanish community. I doubt it will surpass thirty people. But we'll see. Anyway, california and texas as I mentioned have the highest population of "undocumented aliens". Lawyers from those areas known that this means business. So guys, watch out with lawyers. Yes they know the law, but there is no such thing as deferred action lawyer. NO SUCH THING. I will keep everyone posted about what I hear on this upcoming meeting.

Aled: Depends what they ask for, if copies or originals. If they ask for copies, I'll make color copies, but I read on the USCIS website regarding submitting paperwork, its not returned to you until later...but I really am hesitant about giving my ids...I dont want them misplaced or lost. Heres what it says exactly: At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

pswa83: Heres the link to the business thats translating my birth certificate: http://www.certified-translation-services-us.com/index.html I am due to receive it on Wednesday, they offer: the translation will be certified and the letter of certification will be notarized, as required by USCIS. This is for $34 with FREE Priority Shipping Expedited Shipping Available. If you do contact them tell them I sent you I called USCIS a few minutes ago and was told the following: Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate. The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is: Certification by Translator I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________. Signature_________________________________ Date Typed Name Address In other words, the agency Im working with to translate my birth certificate will be doing the job just right

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.
