    About employment...

    You should absolutely tell them the truth but tweak it a tad by telling them you applied in August a while before they offered you the job and you expected to receive your paperwork in time. Do not mention the fake social whatsoever and lose the guilt! You're not going to use it anymore and you have something legit and real that you're going to be able to use. I would absolutely not take less wages because of this. I assume they offered you this position for a reason. I would put in writing how much you're looking forward to working for them and see if they'd be willing to let you start later. I would feel it out from there. We're in the workforce now! You're legit and talented! Good luck!!!!

    Notify IRS about your new SSN & rescind ITIN Individuals who are not eligible to receive a Social Security Number (SSN) instead get an Individual Tax Payer Identification Number (ITIN). An alien individual can't have both an ITIN and a SSN. Therefore, once you receive your SSN (e.g., after getting an EAD), you will have to rescind your ITIN. After you receive your new SSN, you will have to send a letter to the IRS ITIN Unit requesting a rescind of your ITIN. The SSN will become the primary number and must be used for all future filing purposes. The IRS will void the ITIN. All prior tax information under the ITIN will be associated with the new SSN. Send a letter to: Internal Revenue Service ITIN Operation P.O. Box 149342 Austin, TX 78714-9342 Enclose the copies of your ITIN and SSN. You will then receive a letter from the IRS confirming that your ITIN was revoked and to use your new SSN for all tax purposes. source: http://www.immihelp....etting-ssn.html ************************************* How to Transfer Your Credit History to a Newly Assigned SSN When you are assigned a new Social Security Number (SSN), your previous credit history will not automatically transfer. Credit history is not kept by the Social Security Administration. Instead, the three major credit bureaus, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, keep their own records of your credit history. Therefore, to transfer your credit history you will need to notify each of the credit bureaus directly and provide evidence of your claim. 1. Contact your current lenders and inform them of your newly assigned SSN. They should begin to report your credit under your new number. 2. Type a letter to the credit bureau, explaining that you have a new SSN. Keep the letter simple and to the point. List all previous numbers you had credit under and any previous names you used. Request that your account be listed in your new credit report. 3.Print four copies of the letter, one for each of the three credit bureaus and one for your own records. Sign the three copies for the credit bureaus. 4. Address one envelope to each credit bureau, affix a stamp and write your return address. The three credit bureau addresses are as follows: Equifax P.O. Box 740241 Atlanta, GA 30374 Experian P.O. Box 2002 Allen, TX 75013 TransUnion P.O. Box 1000 Chester, PA 19022 5. Make three copies of the document you received from the Social Security Administration informing you of your newly assigned SSN. Attach one to each letter and put each letter in an envelope. Mail the letters to the credit bureaus. 6. Wait a month or two and request a free copy of your credit report through AnnualCreditReport.com from each credit bureau. Verify that your credit history has been transferred by each credit bureau. If it has not, call the credit bureau in question to sort out the problem.

It’s the law. According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service will accept late registrations but not after a man has reached age 26. You may be denied benefits or a job if you have not registered. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to: Selective Service System P.O. Box 94636 Palatine, IL 60094-4636 source: http://www.sss.gov/default.htm ***************************** Do not forget to contact your bank and/or any other relevant institution (school, memberships, etc.) about your new SSN.

    About employment...

    I'm sure all professional places are using the E-9 which is the E-Verify, I know where I work they use that to make sure people hired by the company are legal in the US or have a legal work permit. I would be straight forward with them, but if you haven't been approved yet then I don't think you should take the job. Good luck on whatever you decide to do

    About employment...

    I totally second amor's opition. Tweak it a bit, make it seem natural and guilt free. And I wouldn't offer to take less either. I am sure they see potential in you and you deserve what they would pay any other starting employee

    About employment...

    Hi Gezinha, I am in the same situation as you. I got a job offer and I am waiting on my EAD, although I have already been approved. But nonetheless, I do not have an EAD and SSN in my hand right now. So I was honest with my future employer and told them that I am waiting on some papers, and that I could start in a couple of weeks. In my case, my employer is fine with it. If this is possible for you. I would recommend talking to your employer about it, and just tell them that you are just waiting for some formalities to get your papers ready for work. if they are reasonable people, they should understand. Good luck.

    About employment...

    Youre in a tough position...ultimately the decision will be yours and you should follow your gut feeling. If I was in that position I'd be honest and tell them that im in the process of obtaining my social security and that Im very interested in the position, hell, Id even offer to take a little less than what they offered me in wages as long as they allowed me to still be in the running for the position. Whatever you decide, good luck..and remember even if you dont get this job, other windows will open.....

    Police Harrassment

    honestly, besides filing complaints there is not much you can do. the police has the right to stop cars with out of state license plates all they want. having worked for a retired sheriff, all the police has to do when they stop a car is say they have cause to search the car--if that "cause" is valid or not is something to be determined. also, i know in california you have 10 days to change your residency if you plan to make california your home. When my brother lived in Iowa, he also had to do the same--think the number of days may be different--but he had to change his license plates along with his drivers license. having a license plate from one state and a DL from a another state, looks fishy to law enforcement. with all the being said, i would, if i were you, look up what the laws are about video taping someone in Iowa and see if you can get some of what if going on on tape as proof. the reason being is because if you only file a complaint then it's basically a they said they said type of thing and with it being against a police officer, most likely not much is going to be done unless there is other evidence to back up the complaint. i have a double major, in criminal justice and criminal psychology so criminal aspect and criminal law is something i know a little about.

    i'm 29 and already have been approved, received my EAD, SNN, DL and state ID. unless your over 31 or turned 31 after june 15, 2012, then i dont think that your age plays a role in the decision. keep your chin up!!

    Advance Parole. Will you apply?

    I think it's too soon to tell how Advance Parole will work with DACA applicants. I for one wouldn't want to risk it because USCIS states on the instructions that even with Advance Parole, you can be denied entry into the U.S. if you have accrued Unlawful Presence, which most Dreamers have. Although, there have been two court rulings stating that a departure with Advance Parole doesn't count as a departure as far as triggering the 3/10 year ban. Of course, these rulings weren't with DACA applicants, but we will have to wait and see if USCIS changes it's guidelines.

    Traveling WITHIN the US (Domestic)

    Yes, it is acceptable to present your state ID to fly within the US. Before I got DACA, I was able to obtain a valid ID and I used it all the time to fly.

    processing time?

    You are not the only one concerned about the processing time. More people applied as days went by, so the waiting line got longer for ones case to be reviewed. Your case will go under review and as long as you haven't received a rejection notice, your case is still on the line. Let's be patients.
