I am speechless, cant say anything else than just i got approved! waiting for more than six months finally paid off.... Dont lose hope boys and girls....Recuerden que la fe mueve montanas!!!

A month and 10 days after I received the notice that my case had been transferred from Vermont to Nebraska, I finally got my letter of approval! The whole day I've been thinking of what the next steps are, and I couldn't be happier! My brother and cousin both received their card within a week of their approval so i'm looking forward to mine being in the mail by the end of the week. It kinda feels like you get a restart on life after high school and I'm super excited to build credit, get a car, go to school and get my shit together I've been driving without a licence for sooooo long, i completely forgot about the test i am going to have to take, so before I get my card in the mail, i am completely focusing on studying on the driving handbook and looking at different credit cards I can apply for. To those waiting still, I can only say, hang in there, we have been waiting for years and years and the approval is just out of reach, i feel tremendously lucky and I can only hope many of you get the feeling of the start of something new, we have worked and wished hard for this, and I promise you, this feeling that I feel is way worth it, and i would do it all over again. Good luck and best wishes to all of you!

The immigration Reform bill is not a law yet, Once its been proposed, it will then head to one of the Senate Committee for hearings and once they've concluded the hearings, the committee will hold a vote on it before it goes to the Senate Floor for debate. So this bill will go through a lot of congressional processes and by the time it reaches the president desk if everything goes well, it will definitely be a different bill from its original version which will be introduced next week. So its hard to say for sure what this bill will require us to do. The House of Representative will be introducing its own immigration bill sometimes after the congressional recess, and it will go through the same tough scrutiny as the Senate version, and hopefully between August and November there should be a an immigration bill on the president desk.

Congratulations! Its a great feeling isn't? ...the feeling that I had when I found out I've been approved I felt untouchable, literally! I just wanted to run through the walls...

until the true and final draft comes out, then i'm not getting excited about anything.

Hello everyone I'm just curious to know what's the longest someone has been waiting for an approval I send my app oct 26 it's been 6 months since and I still havent gotten approved I'm a bit worried I just wanna know what's the longest people have been waiting

So I never got to introduce myself in here at all, so may as well do so now that I've some spare time. Hey everyone, my real name is Enrique, I'm from Venezuela, came to the US originally because of our current situation in our country, going through many political changes and a lot of insecurity so we decided to come to the US, currently I'm the only one who has illegal presence as to the rest of my family they found a way to get in a status and now they're becoming residents except me. This is the only hope I have, the only one I'm hoping for growing a bright future. Honestly I'm all counting on this approval so that I can finally start my own life, I've gone through a lot of difficult phases (I'm guessing just like any other Dreamer out there). When I was in high school, just like any other kid around that age, I would always dream of getting out of high school, start college in another state, living the college life, by my own, I also wanted to go to the US Air Force, and just be like any other typical american life. Just about when I was a senior, I noticed I couldn't do anything I wished for, not even in my same state or more specifically, the same county. Fortunately, I did get my license when I had a status but it's now expired of course, never got a SSN or ITIN. Living life as an undocumented, it has been one of the toughest obstacles I have ever had, just like any of you. Not being able to drive legally, work legally (and even find a decent job), get credits, or even show a valid ID without showing a passport. Most of my friends if not all, they all are residents and citizens, it's hard to keep up with them since they are in college and working at the same time, traveling inside and outside the country with no problems, and even simple stuff like even making a contract with a phone carrier to get a new phone. Things I can't do, and the ones I can, I can barely do. They often ask me about me and what am I thinking about doing with my life, it's such an awkward question although they know my situation, but it still is an awkward situation. I'm someone who usually compares my own to the rest, and it's just so hard and frustrating and devastating, knowing all the things I can do, I could do, and that I'm willing to do, and it's all in stand by. I'm living a life I don't want to live, meaning, I've always felt forced to live the way my parents and other people want me to, and of course, I've always hidden my true personality because they are just not accepting who I am, what I do or what I like. It's so sad when people keeps stepping over you over and over again and you know you can't do anything because without them, I'm not able to sustain myself. This is the number one reason I've been waiting anxiously for the approval, so that I can get my freedom, that's the way of me seeing this opportunity, as freedom. After all this years, I've realized that I'm not looking for fortune, to be rich, or anything, all I've been looking is for just one thing that I mentioned, freedom, stability, and peace with my own. If you made it all the way here reading my post, thanks for taking the time. I'm sorry if some parts do not make sense, I needed to ventilate a little since all my friends are busy on their own little world and they clearly do not understand what I'm going through. I wish luck to all of you that have gotten approved. To the ones waiting, for some of us has been a long road, some are just starting this game of waiting, but be patient, things happen for a reason, the day we will get approved, it's not because an officer just finished the case, it's because we're done, we're prepared for this new opportunity they are giving us. Good luck, and have a nice day everyone.

Your dreams are letting you into a little secret. The day will come..

Cash is king, and credit is the cornerstone of the modern economy... When applying for a CC, watch that Interest Rate and be aware of the small print...a variable interest rate and a huge balance on your account will eat your cash flow in a minute if the IR turns to the upside, well above the rate you were quoted when you agreed to borrow the funds. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!! (buyer beware) Don't spend all your funds on candy and stuff, and make sure you can comfortably cover your CC payments punctually on a monthly basis (if you can pay more than the minimum, even better)... And remember CASH IS KING (Finance 101) - don't tie up your free cash flow in the coverage of financial leverage (credit) after all your expenses are accounted for... You are welcome... BTW - I have had Capital One for a while now.

Bios on September 26th and I'm still waiting... this is getting ridiculous.

ok, so I'm looking into applying for either the Capital One Secured MasterCard or the Capital One Journey student, but do I have to have employment history? 'Cause I'm gonna start working in a week, so how long after I start before I can apply? Thanks for your answer

CONGRATULATIONS! thanks for the encouragement )

thank you girls!! yes i had set my mind into thinking that the reason i had not being approved was because it was not my time and perhaps i was not ready for that 360 degrees change... Time, destiny and something really divine work in a very mysterious way!!!

Congrats!! Very happy for you It really does come when you least expected!!

OMG CONGRATULATIONS!! SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!

I can tell you that I understand how you feel...I always tried to not pay attention to my "status" I tried to do my best, but you always hit that wall...and you get brought back to reality. I'm glad I joined the forum 'cause I find people like you that have experienced difficulties like I have...thank you for sharing your thoughts. I wish you success
