Honestly, to all the people that are waiting just like me, you all need to be patient, i know it sucks, but your case will eventually go through, some might be faster than others but at the end they're all gonna be reviewed and fortunately approved. I agree you should call after 90 days, but be patient, don't rush it. I've been waiting for 59 days including weekends and 41 week days and still haven't heard anything yet, some have been waiting for around 90 days and more. I do get anxious and desperate sometimes but that will not help but just to put me in a bad mood. So just give it a break and just don't think about it, it's hard to do so but if you manage to forget you're waiting on this decision, days are gonna pass by so fast and you'll get approved before you even know it.

I want to get approved and get my EAD

All I want for Christmas is to get approved!!! LOL!!!

Heavy Metal / Gothic Metal/ Progressive Metal / Symphonies / Orchestra / Clasical Music and I think that's pretty much it ohhhh yes I do listen to Electronic music as well and Spanish music like Camila and Caifanes

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 You will then receive a letter from the IRS confirming that your ITIN was revoked and to use your new SSN for all tax purposes.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.

State Senate GOP Leadership Endorses Drivers' Licenses For Deferred Action Program December, 3 2012 By Nevada News Bureau Staff CARSON CITY – Nevada's state Senate Republican leadership expressed support for a state policy that makes thousands of young immigrants living in Nevada eligible for a state-issued driver's license or ID. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, with the support of Gov. Brian Sandoval, announced this week that its policy would be to honor the employment authorization card granted to successful applicants under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Deferred Action program. Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, said he supports the DMV policy and hopes those eligible will take advantage of this opportunity. “These young men and women are living, working and attending school here in Nevada, and are doing everything in their power to improve their lives and the lives of their families,” Roberson said. “A driver's license from the state of Nevada will aid in their ability to commute to and from work and school; will afford a sense of self-sufficiency; and will provide greater opportunities for thousands of Nevada families.” Deferred Action, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a directive from the secretary of the DHS that grants temporary permission to stay in the U.S. to certain undocumented young people. Individuals who receive deferred action may apply for and obtain employment authorization. It is estimated that more than 20,000 young immigrants could benefit from this program in Nevada. Sen. Ben Kieckhefer, R-Reno, also applauded the policy: “This DMV policy allowing young immigrants living in our communities to obtain driver's licenses will benefit not only the young people and families eligible for deferred action, but will also help strengthen Nevada's education system and our economy at large.” Sen. Joe Hardy, R-Boulder City, commented on the safety aspects of the policy: “In order to secure a driver's license, an individual must obtain the proper knowledge and skill level to pass a test to ensure they can safely drive on the streets. This policy will not only provide greater opportunity for so many young people in Nevada, it will also make our streets safer by ensuring training for those who may otherwise be driving without a license or adequate preparation.”

how many days should pass and call to ask about the status of the case?

So I have been APPROVED! I NEVER received a text message! But I did receive an EMAIL! Of the early yesterday morning of November 30th, I received an email from uscis. Today, the first of December was the day I viewed the emails haha. The email read as this: Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION This was sent at 9:30 a.m 11/30 Application Type: I821D , Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals This was sent at 11:30 a.m 11/30 Feeling: With school finals coming up, I stopped focusing on my case. I used to come to this forum everyday, hoping and wishing my anxiousness would be healed by the constant good news of the associated members. But GOSH! That helped for so long. Even though your happy for others, you do not really feel jealous or upset, but begin to get a little more anxious and worried for your case. So after letting go, USCIS contacted me of my change of statues. I do not know how to feel. I never been the girl that ever won anything, so it's a new feeling. Like I am still in disbelief. Seriously It took me a whole day to muster up feelings of happiness! So my point of this topic is not to rant on about myself being approved, but too let those others that have still been in the "initial review" and been waiting, in what they would consider a "longer time" that I UNDERSTAND. ITS EMOTIONAL AND STRESSFUL. IM WITH U. BUT YOU HAVE TO LET GO AND LET GOD TAKE CONTROL.

For those who were granted deferred action and obtained EAD, and then obtain a SSN, do not forget to transfer your credit history (if any) to your new SSN, and also update all your financial/education/etc. institutions about your new SSN. Lastly, you are required to rescind your ITIN once you obtain a SSN. Here are some helpful links: transfer credit history to new SSN http://www.ehow.com/...signed-ssn.html rescind ITIN http://www.immihelp....etting-ssn.html also for men, you have to let the Selective Service know about your new SSN http://www.sss.gov/default.htm

Anything and everything I dont discriminate....favorite band is MUSE.

i think i good question to ask, if someone can, is why there seem to be computer errors in the process. online status saying a person has been approved when they havent. i mean this is not fair for those who are still waiting. getting their hopes up and excited just to find out it was a computer error.

Thanks

It's going to be in Spanish ? Ay dios mio

Dayum I wish I knew Spanish

LMAO!!! The first video is hilarious

lol i've seen his videos ... they're so funny :b

This is very interesting. I also think it depends on the service center you are assigned too. It could be faster for those assigned to more efficient service centers and others aren't as lucky and seem to be waiting as long as the rest of the dreamers. Either way, I am sure all dreamers who meet the requirements and have enough proof will be approved eventually.

Yes love the 80s music!!! n 90s too

I like most music but I usually listen to trance, folk rock, jazz and oldies from the 80's

http://youtu.be/e35Ek9AJb-U

Yes, it does, sometimes. I have seen a few people that walked in get approved before their actual appointment date.

Nice choice of music lol heavy metal gothic metal electronic are my favorite type too including industrial EBM n a lot more

@Fabs Ouch, that's terrible. Why weren't you notified of this earlier? Hope you can work everything out. Those USCIS workers aren't too bright sometimes. That sucks, but at least now you know they have looked at your case and are only waiting for your response in order to approve you.

After 90 days!

I want a kindle fire hd or a nexus tablet....just depends what type of girl you are

I had been waiting 2 months, 1 week and 2 days since they first received my case. However I was just recently approved yesterday

25 years old and was approved in less than 20 days, I don't think age has anything to do. I'm pretty sure it is the common names and background checks that are causing delays.

I bow to no one but God and if anyone asks me I have nothing to hide. I commited no crime or sin by being illegal....my dad brought me to this country without doing things the right way...its not my fault he did things this way......If I share with someone my "situation" prior to DACA and they have the audacity to judge me, then they get the hell out of my life, they dont deserve to be in my life then...

Hi Itzel, I agree with Angela. This is my story. So according to my timeline, I recently got my EAD and still awaiting my SSN. I still did not allow this to stop me. The very next day, I hit up my local mall to start sending out those apps. I applied at, Macy's Lord & Taylor Barnes n Noble Express Bath and Body Works I've had 3 interviews with Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and Express. I was late for the one at BB because of the rain and public transportation (I know, bad sign and that's why I applied to the mall. Note: I don't have a car so all these places are in the same mall and 7-10 mins away by bus). Happy to say, I landed all three jobs; two on the spot. These are my tips: Use school extracurricular--I worked in a lab, I was on a Mock Trial Team Use internship experiences (even if unpaid)--I interned at a latino cultural center, community center, and law firm Use community activities (church, cultural organization)--I helped out in the office at church Use sports Use teachers, counselors, friends as references--I used friends and family friends. Some applications want to hear what your co-workers have to say about you. In the interview Make eye contact (very important) Make small talk while the interviewer is settling down/shuffling for papers (usually looking for your application) In retail, compliment them on something (your necklace is beautiful, nice lip color lol) Be confident (sit straight, hands on lap) Answer questions directly (don't blibber blabber lol, I tend to do that in everyday convo) I have had a lot of interviews and have been to mock interviews so I'm just sharing what I learn. Another note: do not settle for less. E.g. I intern at an immigration law firm. I started earlier this year. The position is unpaid. It is a small practice and I am the first "employee." Now, she offered me a position in August and I was excited but nervous at the same time due to my situation. Anyways, I went along and learned a lot about DACA and applied. Then, I waited patiently and prayed for a quick turn around. A couple weeks ago, my employer said that she wanted to pay me $9/hr. SAY WHAT!?! I was crushed. She is definitely taking advantage of me. Although, I do not have a lot of experience. I know her company in and out and the starting rate for inexperienced legal assistant (my title and position) is $12/hr. Anyways, with my mom's counsel and my own intuition, I gave her my resignation letter last week. She was disappointed but accepted and we're still cool. Anyways, long story short, do not allow employers to take advantage of you. You may feel inferior because of your lack of experience but still determine what you will accept and what you won't when applying for a job. Know what the standard rate for different levels of experience is in that industry. Just my personal take! I hope this helps and lemme know if you have questions.

Country, Dubstep, and Drum N Bass it's pretty much what I listen to nowadays. I love Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift because I'm a believer. I also like long walks on the beach.
