I am currently waiting to hear back from USCIS on my EAD and work permit. I got my biometrics done on Sept. 19th. It can be a little nervewrecking to hear the timelines posted considering it has been over 3 weeks since I got my biometrics done. But, I have to wait. I am not sure if it is because my case went to the Nebraska Center or if it matters what state I am from?
A little about me. I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I came to the US when I was 14, graduated HS in 2007 as the class valedictorian. I was lucky enough to meet a very nice couple along the way who gave me a scholarship and I attended private college. I graduated in 2011 with a Bacherlors in Science. My grandma had applied for my residency in 2004 but she passed away a month before we got approved so when we did the approval meant nothing. Back to square 1.
I can't really complain about my life considering I have been able to go to college and I was able to find a job as well. However, I am ready to start my life here. I am sure we all feel like our lives are stalled even if we have had opportunities. I can't wait for all of my friends who applied to DACA and for myself too to get it. It will be a relief.
To everyone, keep praying, spread the word and enjoy life no matter what!
