Thank god, I got a job at red lobster as a server/bartender. yay

Lately, I have been reading on FB and other forums about people, who are approved, losing their EADs or wallets that carry their EADs and/or SSNs. Some advice: 1.) If you happen to live in a state where you can get a DL/ID (whether it states limited term or Temp visitor or what ever), PLEASE DO SO!!! Once you have that, there is NO NEED to carry around your EAD with you. 2.) If you lose and need to replace your SSN, please know that you can only apply for a replacement 3 times in a calendar year and 10 times within your life time. You should memorize this number or put in your cell phone and take measures to lock your cell phone with a pin number ONLY you know. 3.) Unless your are hired for a job and your employer ask to see your EAD and SSN, then you DO NOT need to show or tell anyone about your legal presence. This is PRIVATE information and no one cane force you to disclose it. I am not saying this because I am trying to be mean or give a lecture or any of the sort. I am saying this because we, as DACA applicants, approved or not, are under such a microscope as it is, that things such as this will only fuel the fire with the opposition. Also, we have waited for this our whole lives and to be careless with something we've waited for for so long, we just need to take a little extra measures to ensure to safety of our identity. Last if this offends anyone, I will not apologize as this is my opinion. Others may have theirs and I respect that so if an argument follows this (for what ever reason) then I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that follows my original post.

Hey guys so my lawyer contacted USCIS and they informed her that my case was referred to the background section unit on may 10th should i be worried? all i got on my background is 1 arrest for driving without a drivers license and speeding i took care of both and paid my fines.. they also said to do a follow up in 30 days if i didnt get anything. they recieved my application on december 3rd and my bio's on january 3rd.

How has your life changed after being approved and gotten all your docs (ead, ssn, dl/id)? Aside from getting my dl/id nothing has drastically changed for me. I've been running two businesses, one since 2005 and one since 2007, so I didn't have to search for a job. All my work comes from referrals. Last week I applied for business licenses and payed back taxes for the businesses - so that's a major milestone for legitimacy.

I'm in the SF Bay Area. My DL expires on May 24, 2017. actually just got it in the mail yesterday.

En este caso yo creo que si es necesario cargarla si sabes que hay posibilidad de que pases por una inspecion de imigracion. Ten cuidado en no perderla.

I carried my EAD with me when I initially received it. I never really used it, I guess I was just excited that I had something I could use as an ID for the first time in my life. I was careful with it though. I carried it in my wallet and I put the wallet in my front pocket lol. After I got my state ID I put the EAD away. I wrote my SSN down on a small piece of paper and carried it in my wallet until I was able to memorize my number.

You have been waiting all this time dont throw it all away, maintain that hope if you have nothing to fear and have abide by all the requirements of daca it HAS to be approved.. sooner or later but it will eventually. at one point or another we all get that feeling of anger and discouragement more when other people who applied after you get approved, but you just have to remind yourself that it will come..remember we are all in the same boat we are all hoping to get this once in a life time change, people before us who just aged out did not get this opportunity..WE DID!
