Wooow i cant believe it!! i got approved!! Application Received: DICEMBER 3rd, 2012 Biometrics Appointment: JANUARY 3rd, 2012 Date of Approval: MAY 31st

Hi Everyone!!! Havent been online as often as I'd like...work and getting ready for school has kept me occupied. Approval from DACA is guarenteed to open many new doors and possibilites for all.. Well, heres what this post is about...taxes... This is my first legal job ever, before DACA I worked under the table and never filed taxes... Well this job, every paycheck withdraws taxes... Ive been reading up on doing taxes and the different categories..nonresiden and resident.. DACA didnt provide us with any type of legal status, however Publication 519, the US Tax Guide released by the IRS, categorizes us as resident aliens because of the time we've been here (page 5).. They even have this little table that helps you determine what to file under.. I will be filing as a resident as indicated by Publication 519 because of the time I've been here in the US, I mean we obviously had to meet that requirement to get qualified for DACA.. For any Android users, theres a free app called "TaxCaster" from Turbo Tax and gives you an estimate of how much you'd be getting back..its really user friendly.. Now all I have to wait is for my W2 from my employer at the end of Jan. and get back some of those taxes... Heres the link to Publication 519: http://www.irs.gov/p...rs-pdf/p519.pdf Any questions/comments feel free to do so..we're here to help each other out and Im sure I can learn something new.... Itzel...

I have been waiting too since september and still under initial review this sucks I've done a service request but still nothing i received their response but it just says there working as hard as they can

Hmm.... When you came back before the age of 16, how long did you stay here before leaving again for 3 months and did you come legally or illegally? After you came back from Mexico, how long where you here for before leaving for the last time?

Welcome and good luck

You will be approved soon in no time, a tip to not constantly checking your account is to sign up for text or email updates!!

Yup, thanks I told them all and I am actually already workind, I am getting paid on personal check meanwhile, but as soon as I get my SSN they will get me started on paycheck...thank God and all this. I hope everyone is getting better jobs, and going after what they want. This is such a blessing for all of us.

So, I told them the situation, and they were happy to wait at least until January for my papers, I do believe the stuff will be here before the end of January. So, best of luck to anyone in the same situation.
