Dennis here, saying hello from utah. Came from Mexico at the age of 4 I have my was approved and received my card and social a few weeks ago. I've been creeping on the forum for a while now and it's been great to find a place where we can all share our experiences.

Last month the STEM bill passed in the house; 245 votes to 139. Stem is an immigration bill that would grant green cards for up to 55,000 foreign-born, US-trained graduates every year.The bill is now up for a vote in the Senate, if we attach the DREAM Act to it we could potentially get the DREAM Act this year. In order to get DREAM attached we need Senator Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, and Senator Durbin, the author of the DREAM Act to push to attach it. Please join us in making a call to these two great leaders and asking them to take a final stand for the DREAM Act! Call Senator Reid @ 202-224-3542 Call Senator Durbin @ 202-224-2152 You can also talk to your local state representative to inform them to pass the Act! http://action.dreamactivist.org/dreamstem/

YES! YES! YES!

Well at least she has them looking on her forms and all now. Once those papers are in, it shouldn't be long. If you had all the papers from the start though...you would've been approved.

No, we don't qualify for FAFSA... and I see you are from CA ... you can apply for the CA Dream Act which allows you to apply for in-state financial aid such as Cal grants, BOG fee waiver, UC and CSU grants here is more info about it -->> http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/847-ca-dream-act-ab-131/#entry3737

Up to where I know, no. Only citizen and residents can apply. However if youre in TX there is another form of FAFSA called TAFSA, I included this link for more info: http://www.garlandisd.net/departments/guidance_counseling/plan_for_college/fa_fafsa_tafsa.asp Good luck

UGH SOME LAWYERS ARE IDIOTS!! yes send the bank statements and make sure to include someting for Summer-Winter for 2007 as well.

It is clearly said that you have to provide continued proof that you've been in the US without leaving. :-\

How about you include transcripts from school, phlebotomy classes and MA courses. I included all transcripts from high school and college. Also, bank statements from 2007-present. I am sure that is enough. That is exactly what I sent.

Rh_ny im guessing that your together with the other RFE people. If you give them what they need your good to go soon!

That's good they updated your status to what?!!!!

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! Great post! Thanks!

Hey erika020 we have similar activity date and I'm also still waiting for approval. let me know when you get approved yeah?

Ok...whaaaa??

I want to use you for Christmas. (LOL)

On a serious note (disregard the 'use me' post)... I want a saxophone... http://youtu.be/GaoLU6zKaws

i got my work permit card on Saturday and went to the social security office to get an SSN but they told me they cant give me one because i didnt provide enough documents. i took the work permi and my birth certificate with the translation. they asked if i had a passport or an I-94 or I-551. dont have any of those. what to i do????

Details Below

I think it would lol. October applicants include people who filed in october or had their bio in october ???

Date Application filed: October 13 Lockbox: Phoenix Mail method: ups priority Date Delivered: September 18 Date of text: Unknown Date of I-797 notice: October 1st Date of Bio App: October 26 (No walk-in) Date of Approval: pending Date of EAD: pending

i went on October 18th with my sister for biometrics but only I got approved so far. Got my EAD, SSN, and DL is coming in mail. I just want my sister's to hurry and come too we went on same day!

The most logical approach to take would be to leave AZ for neighboring states, or others for that matter. However, we have to take into account the fact that many families live 'day by day,' paycheck to paycheck, and it would be really hard for them to eventually move somewhere else. The move includes expenses such as: transportation, living expenses like deposits and rents, and the income sacrificed by looking for work somewhere else. Therefore, many won't be able to afford it. Even though the most sound decision would be to move, a significant number of those families are stuck there, and will have to bear the brunt of AZs bigotry and ignorance. It is very sad that the people chosen to govern a state, are almost a direct representation of the people who chose them in the first place. That being said, keep suing the heck out of that place!

VERMONT REALLY????? How is Cali moving faster than you?!?!?!? 45 working days since my biometrics appointment and counting... PRETTY PLEASEEEE?!?! A birthday or christmas present?!?!!?! Let's all send positive energy out to these wood chopping bums in Vermont.

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.
