Im really happy for you.

True..... yeah that's what I was saying .... thank u

Maybe your name matched someone with a bad record. I would probably go to the courthouse and ask for a letter or some sort of record for yourself that states that you dont have any outstanding tickets or any prior cases. But like you said it is weird that they would ask YOU that if they DID a background check. Good luck.

There is no problem when you travel I have travelled a bit since I got approved and they don't say anything.

Yes you can travel within the US without issues. Your ID or License should be more than enough, but you can always take your EAD and DACA Approval Letter with you. But don't show it unless asked for it.

Thank you!! hope you get approved soon!!!

You should only carry it with you if you're going to be going to a job interview incase they ask about your work authorization. Another instance where you should carry it is if you're going to be crossing a Border Patrol inspection, other than that, you should leave it at home.

if you already have a state ID or DL, then there is no need for you to carry your EAD with you at any time. only when you are offered and accept a job offer, and doing the initial paperwork for the job will you need to show your EAD. there have been too many people who have lost their EADs because they carry it around with them. one SHOULD NEVER, EVER carry their EAD and SSN with them. if they are lost or stolen you will need to pay the $380 fee again in order to get another one. also, if you do lose your SSN, you need to put a hold on it with the SSA in order to assure that no one else can use it.

any important key to job hunting is to follow up on the job applications and resumes that you have sent. call about 2 days after you filled out the application or sent a resume and simply state your name and that you were just touching base on the application you filled out or the resume you dropped off. if you have the time and the places are local, try going in person with a resume and asking to see the manager and introduce yourself and ask if they will take your resume. a lot of the times, filing out a job application online just sends the application into the human resource black hole and not to the individual store you want to work out. so put yourself out there and remember that it is a very competitive job market. it's not only us looking for work but so many others as well.

Try to post more resumes than to replying to jobs since companies recieve up to hundreds of enquiries about posted jobs. Don't forget to go in person to register to job agencies. Don't overlook the assistant positions that may lead to something good in the future like experience and promotions and if you see a hiring post that says apply in person or e-mail resume, go in person because maybe they will interview on the spot. Register in LinkedIn and look for employed friends from college (they might refer you or might know about one) I hope you find a job soon!

I'm so buying a Bike

same here. they sent out an inquiry on my behalf yesterday and i'm waiting 14 days to hear back from them. we deserve every right to know something other than, "its just pending". of course we know it's pending, we're not stupid.. just want to know what the hold up is
