Hi there welcome Beah and congratulations. I can relate to what you say on the job search. I had to wait almost 2 months until I could get a job. But hey keep applying, revamp your resume, have someone else look at it and give you ideas on what skills and key words to include. It is awesome you are also going to college. One idea, go to your school's career department and ask them about internships. Usually those can lead to a really good job or references. Best wishes!

Social Security is free, literally. You do not have to pay for it. What you do pay for is the license/identification card.

i think you have to file the AB 540 form first (don't know if you did already) . You should talk to someone from the financial aid office at your college because apparently the forms are different for every college (that's what the lady from the financial aid office at my college told me) but you should qualify for it.

thank you! yeah, i'm going to stop by this week at the career center and financial aid department to see if they have any job openings on campus, and if i could get a student loan, since i don't think i'm eligible for any federal aid. maybe just state.

What would be the last positive option if I may ask ? If someone got denied what more can they do ?

Got a RFE on December 17th...had i been approved that day, would have had the best christmas ever! too bad i didnt get approved....everything happens for a reason, only god knows.

so my mom is a USC but because she became a USC after i turned 21, a visa is not available for me until my priority is current with NVC. what happens to someone's petition after they turn 21 is that they get put into categories. there are 4 different ones. Mexico being the one that is the most backlogged. i thought about filing the I-130 again but my lawyer said it wouldnt do any good because of my age. i would be in the same position i am now. the "immediate relative" only applies to those UNDER 21 because they are still considered "children". i've already come to the understanding that it's completely beyond my control. i've been to so many layers about all this and only one was able to come up to a solution. i could have applied for something called Family Unity, which are for children of those who were granted amnesty in the 80s, like my mother did. however, i had to get evidence from may of 1985 and i was only 2 back then.its pretty much like DACA, but the category on the EAD is different.

Wow...really? ^^^^^^^^ Like pswa83 said some people tend to think that immigration is a black & white issue. Its not that easy, they always have extra little clauses and I think pswa83 whos been dealing with immigration her whole life,and who Im sure has consulted various attorneys. Only the person in the situation knows exactly whats going on.

and BOOM... lol I wish it will be that easy.....

no, the immigration is more complicated than people think.

I agree with you!

I'm sorry to tell you Erik, but you have insulted your own inteligence with such proposal. I'm glad politicians don't think like you. An Immigration reform would boost the economy because many peoples wages would encrease, therefore more money to spend. Many people adquiring drivers lisence will be able to take out loans and buy new cars. Many people, outside the dreamers would start spending money on higher eduacation and things like that. It looks like you havent done any research on the borders and its security. If anyone works illegaly they would not be able to get any tax returns and loose all the money deducted form pay. Paying a fine looks like the only smart thing you wrote. Back of the line? how old are you, 15? SMH

payback taxes?? now does that apply to those who worked illegaly? what would be the point of making those who dont work pay taxes? americans who dont work dont pay income taxes, why should those in our situation pay taxes if someone of us didnt work illegally? BACK OF THE LINE!!!!???? define that please??
