I finally got APPROVED!!! I went to my congressman office on Monday, and filled out the form. I guess that same day I got approved. Thanks guy for your support, and I hope you guys are next. I really recommend to do what me & another person in this forum did. I just got my tools ready because I am going Job Hunting tomorrow

saw this on FB and thought I should share it. with this, it makes it seem pretty easier to understand how, if passed, CIR would work. http://qz.com/76047

This couldn't have been explained better. I just hope you sent all the court documents as USCIS will request them in a RFE if you didn't. Best of luck!

Hello - I suggest you wait...patiently. If you want to compare time frames, click HERE and see what people with applications in your Service Center have had to wait... Just take it easy, you haven't started waiting yet... Some people have been waiting for around 7-8 months, and I waited for about 6 months... You could wait the same time, or less... Best wishes in your wait, and if you don't mind some advice, try to keep your mind off of it...just ignore it until you get approved...it is the best you can do... After the 6 months, you can do a Service Request...but right now, live your life

Hey Jose - Sorry to hear about your situation... Here are some things that you should keep in mind to better assist your analysis of how the arrest could have an impact on your application: First of all, since you posted you live in Texas, let us see what Texas means by a 'Class C Misdemeanor:' Class C Misdemeanors Class C misdemeanors are considered the least serious type of criminal offense in Texas. A Class C misdemeanor conviction carries a punishment of a fine of up to $500. Community service in addition to or in place of the fine is at the judge’s discretion. A common example of a Class C misdemeanor is a traffic offense that results in a traffic ticket. Other types of Class C misdemeanor offenses include:Disorderly conduct Public intoxication Bad checks Simple assault Criminal trespass Gambling Bail jumping Leaving a child in a vehicle Petty theft such as shoplifting Possession of alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle Driving under the influence of alcohol by a minor Minor in possession of alcohol Minor in possession of tobacco This is good news for you... Since you will be charged with a minor offense, I suggest that you get things sorted out rather quickly, and make sure that you gather all the documentation regarding your case. Chances are you will receive an RFE asking you to prove that your case was settled, the decision on your case, as well as other information. Here are some DACA guidelines for National Security and Public Safety: Significant Misdemeanor A significant misdemeanor is a misdemeanor as defined by federal law (specifically, one for which the maximum term of imprisonment authorized is one year or less but greater than five days) and: Regardless of the sentence imposed, is an offense of domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or, driving under the influence; or, If not an offense listed above, is one for which the individual was sentenced to time in custody of more than 90 days. The sentence must involve time to be served in custody, and therefore does not include a suspended sentence Non-Significant Misdemeanor A crime is considered a non-significant misdemeanor (maximum term of imprisonment is one year or less but greater than five days) if it: Is not an offense of domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or, driving under the influence; and Is one for which the individual was sentenced to time in custody of 90 days or less. According to your situation, your sentence would classify as a 'Non-Significant Misdemeanor' as per USCIS guidelines, and should not have a negative impact in the decision to defer action in your particular case. However, my question is: Is this the first time you have committed a misdemeanor? I ask, because according to USCIS guidelines...'If you have been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, or three or more other misdemeanor offenses not occurring on the same date and not arising out of the same act, omission, or scheme of misconduct, or are otherwise deemed to pose a threat to national security or public safety, you will not be considered for deferred action under this process. ' Just some things to keep in mind...

Did your lawyers advise you to apply, or did you do it by yourself? If you are cooperating and your case is denied, there are always your lawyers taht you can go to in order to provide proof of your cooperation and school achievements and such. But remains the question...who told you to apply? Or did you do it on your own?

I have 3 no driving with a license and like 1 misdemeanor and 1 dismiss and 1 won DUI and I got my EAD card today I got approve so don't worry. As long that is not felony. Good luck
