I answered this on your other thread. "On form I-765, question 16 you would have to answer ( c) (33) leave the third space blank. ( c) (33) means that you are applying for an Employment Authorization Document under the "Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" It says this in the instructions. If you don't fill out form I-765, you will not be given an EAD (work permit) and you will not be assigned a Social Security number, therefore not allowing you to obtain a Driver's License or ID, depending on your state. You also have to file form I-765WS Worksheet along with it. "

You have the right to express your opinion whether one agrees or not. I suggested that if the new laws/policies Brewer was suggesting were difficult to handle, one should leave the state. I know I would, finally an opportunity to work and reside somewhere else. Yes, it may be difficult to start else where and leave family, but being able to accomplish ones goals isn't going to be easy. There will be sacrifice and either you can keep on moving or wait on the side of the road for someone to pick u up....

Rep. Steve King (R-IA), one of the right’s leading anti-immigration voices, is planning to sue the Obama administration after it announced that it would stop deporting undocumented students who were eligible for the DREAM Act. Obama’s policy, which was unveiled last month, will protect up to 1.4 million young immigrants from being deported as the DREAM Act stalls in Congress. In response, King, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, is promising swift action. In a tele-townhall late last week, the Iowa Congressman was asked about stopping illegal immigration. King said that he would soon file suit against the president “to command the president to enforce the law.” KING:I want to stop the bleeding at the border. I want to shut off the job magnet. I want to force the president to enforce the law and this litigation that I’m bringing forward that will be filed sometime soon will be asking for a writ of mandamus to command the president to enforce the law. That’s a constitutional provision we can implement. We know the president doesn’t want to enforce it. He’s said he will not. Despite King’s belief, the president’s immigration directive is eminently lawful. In fact, when the Supreme Court invalidated most of Arizona’s controversial SB 1070 immigration law last month, the majority opinion provided strong support for the new immigration policy. Still, even if King’s lawsuit flops, undocumented youth could again find themselves in danger of being deported if Mitt Romney prevails in November. The campaign co-chair, Ray Walser, announced last month that Romney would “rescind” the immigration directive if elected.

Over the past few weeks, I have been asked countless of times by potential DREAMERS if they qualify for DACA even if they are still taking classes to obtain their GED. I recently re read the guidelines issued by the USCIS for applying for DACA. It seems that due to my excitement I skipped this part of the GED since I obtained a HS diploma.. I apologize for my ignorance and for misinforming all those who asked me about obtaining a GED. YOU CAN STILL BE IN CLASSES GETTING YOUR GED TO QUALIFY FOR DACA. This is what the guideline on the USCIS website says: Who is considered to be “currently in school” under the guidelines? To be considered “currently in school” under the guidelines, you must be enrolled in: a public or private elementary school, junior high or middle school, high school, or secondary school; an education, literacy, or career training program (including vocational training) that is designed to lead to placement in postsecondary education, job training, or employment and where you are working toward such placement; or an education program assisting students either in obtaining a regular high school diploma or its recognized equivalent under state law (including a certificate of completion, certificate of attendance, or alternate award), or in passing a General Educational Development (GED) exam or other equivalent state-authorized exam. Such education, literacy, or career training programs include, but are not limited to, programs funded, in whole or in part, by federal or state grants. Programs funded by other sources may qualify if they are administered by providers of demonstrated effectiveness, such as institutions of higher education, including community colleges, and certain community-based organizations. In assessing whether such an education, literacy or career training program not funded in whole or in part by federal or state grants is of demonstrated effectiveness, USCIS will consider the duration of the program’s existence; the program’s track record in assisting students in obtaining a regular high school diploma or its recognized equivalent, in passing a GED or other state-authorized exam, or in placing students in postsecondary education, job training, or employment; and other indicators of the program’s overall quality. For individuals seeking to demonstrate that they are “currently in school” through enrollment in such a program, the burden is on the requestor to show the program’s demonstrated effectiveness. Im sorry once again for misleading you.

Bonel895: I made a mistake, one of the USCIS guidelines does allow you to apply. This is what the guideline about GED says: Who is considered to be “currently in school” under the guidelines? To be considered “currently in school” under the guidelines, you must be enrolled in: a public or private elementary school, junior high or middle school, high school, or secondary school; an education, literacy, or career training program (including vocational training) that is designed to lead to placement in postsecondary education, job training, or employment and where you are working toward such placement; or an education program assisting students either in obtaining a regular high school diploma or its recognized equivalent under state law (including a certificate of completion, certificate of attendance, or alternate award), or in passing a General Educational Development (GED) exam or other equivalent state-authorized exam.

Rawf, i dont know who told your friend that but it is not necessary to send in your own criminal record. here in CA, it is called a Live Scan. that is what the $85 is for. USCIS will preform the background. They take not only your finger prints but they take a scan of your whole hand and send it to the FBI.

you do not need a criminal record only if you answer "yes" to the first question on page 4 of the i-821D app. Right below the first question it says if you answered yes you must also include copies of all arrest records, charging documents, dispositions, or sentencing records, etc.

After reading this thread I went today to my cities Police Station but since I don't have a current government issued ID or current school ID they didn't give me the background check. I'm with Itzel, we are already sending them $85 for the background and fingerprints, why would we need to send them a background check if they never asked for it and if they are going to check anyways?

What do you mean 2 checks? I called USCIS, it's 1 check of $465 payable to the Department of Homeland Security.

this is exactly why i didnt use a lawyer!!! in the past i have gone to lawyers to help with my complicated case and have gotten no where. $75 here for a consulation, $50 there, all of that adds up. i'm figuring that i could have bought a car with all the money i have spent on lawyers.

Please look around the forum, this has been answered so many times http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/174-full-deferred-action-instructions/ http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/134-what-to-fill-and-where-to-send-it/

it all depends on what state you live in. I know here in CA i can get state aid for school but not federal. i think texas has it as well. all you really need to do is look at the school you want to attend, community college, junior college, what have you and see what the requirements are for in-state tuition. in CA, a person has to have graduated from a CA high school and attended that same high school for 3 years.
