Sounds good, but Im with Aled on this one..this is a bad example, but this is how I see it, its like getting chemotherapy before being diagnosed with cancer. I think its better to just follow USCIS instructions, I wouldnt want to do that so that I wouldnt seem overeager. I believe these type of processes require following the instructions exactly as they are, not improvising. Thats just me, but I respect if others do it differently, to each their own.

A month after Obama announced his deferred action proposal, his administration said it has approved 29 applications of undocumented immigrants who applied. Another 1,600 applications are awaiting final review. The applicants are hoping to avoid deportation and get a work permit under Obama’s administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Department of Homeland Security Spokesman Peter Boogaard said that as of Friday, U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services had received about 82,000 applications from undocumented immigrants hoping to qualify for the program. The first immigrants to win the reprieve were notified this week. They will be allowed to stay in the United States for up to two years and be given permission to work; applications can be renewed every two years. USCIS started accepting applications for the program on Aug. 15. The first approvals came well ahead of the department's own internal estimates that it could take four to six months for an application, including fingerprints and a background check, to be fully reviewed. Republican lawmakers have decried Obama's policy, saying it is tantamount to "backdoor amnesty" for as many as 1.7 million undocumented immigrants. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., earlier this week questioned the timing of the first wave of approvals. "The speed at which the deferrals are being granted continues to raise severe concerns about fraud and the administration's ability to verify items like age of entry, educational status and even current age," Sessions said. President Barack Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the program in June. To be eligible, applicants have to prove that they arrived in the United States before they turned 16, are 30 years old or younger, be high school graduates or in school, or have served in the military. They also cannot have a serious criminal record or otherwise pose a threat to public safety or national security. The program closely tracks with the failed DREAM Act, a bill would have provided a path to legal status for many young illegal immigrants. The new policy does not provide legal status for the immigrants, but does protect them from deportation for two years.

I'm not sure to believe that people actually did this. I mean, we're talking about a major U.S entity here (USCIS) when they tell you something or give you directions, you do it. That's my opinion. I will be patient and do everything accordingly.

You can fill out the application at home and print it, or fill it in at the SSA office. http://www.socialsec...online/ss-5.pdf Find your nearest SSA office https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp http://www.ssa.gov/p...rred_action.pdf

Here's what USCIS says to bring. Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization If you are e-Filing Form I-765, you do NOT need to submit paper photographs and you do NOT need to self-schedule an appointment at an Application Support Center for the electronic capture of your biometrics. You will receive a notice in the mail from the USCIS that will provide you with your USCIS-scheduled appointment for capturing biometrics and photographs at an Application Support Center. You MUST bring the following materials to your biometrics appointment, or processing of your Form I-765 will NOT be completed at your scheduled time: Biometrics appointment notice. Photo Identification. Acceptable kinds of photo identification are: Passport or national photo identification issued by your country, or Driver’s license, or State-issued photo identification card. I'm taking my passport, school id's, matricula, and birth certificate. Just in case.
