i checked this morning & it says my card is in production!

I'm 21 years old, and I was brought to the United States at the age of 5. I was surfing the internet and I found this website, so I decided to share something about myself. I have lived in the Chicagoland area all my life. When I was younger, I played little league baseball, baseball being my favorite sport and I'm a big Chicago Cubs fan. I went to public school from the 1st grade to the 12th grade. I have always had that drive to achieve greater learning. I write poetry. I read a lot; ancient cultures are my favorite. History and Biology are my favorite school subjects. When a realized I was illegal, I thought, well I've heard of the legislation called the DREAM ACT and without a doubt its going to pass before i'm out of high school. We all know it never passed. As I write this, I am remembering watching the vote count (in the Senate) on c-span. it was heart-breaking, and I never shared my situation with anyone. To make it short, I became: very angry, sad, depressed, and anxious. I felt terrible shame, and not expressing my feelings was drowning me. I have recently applied for DACA. I sent my application on August 27, 2013, and I have my biometrics scheduled for September 23, 2013.

Well, we are at it again... The New York Times reported that the debate to overhaul the broken immigration system is being overshadowed by the debate of potential military intervention in Syria, in addition to debates about the Gov's Budget and its borrowing limits (debt ceiling). Since the Syrian intervention and debt ceiling/budget talks have gained popularity and are also being actively discussed in media outlets, the push for immigration reform has lost some of its lime light, but not its momentum. Even though House Republicans say that Immigration Reform has been pushed to the bottom of the list of priorities, reform advocates still plan to mobilize en masse during the fall to pressure the House to pass a comprehensive bill. During the month of October alone, it is expected that there will be rallies in about 40 cities, with a march/rally on DC on October 8th. Please click here to read the original article...

Thanks you guys for the recommendations. I guess I should of read them first before opening the account with Wells Fargo..lol. I am going to be getting direct deposits of my paychecks to the account. So hopefully they don't start coming out charging with high fees. If I don't like it , then I guess I will just change banks. I hope its not a big deal changing banks if one day I decide to do it. Or is it ??

Hopefully it doesn't turn out like back in 01' where the 911 attacks took the attention away from everything. That being said, let's cross our fingers and pray that we don't send troops to Syria or else I'm afraid the same thing might occur. Also, this should be motivation for everyone that's able to go to a march/rally to actually go and support the movement. Let's not stop participating just because we got approved for our DACA!

If you have a way 2 save savings account and a checking account with a minimum bal of like 150 or something like that then you don't pay fees!

Yeah I third the motion of Wells Fargo..they suck!!! I'm going to give Bank of America a try, and I'll look into Chase as well. Thanks for the tip Jose.

I agree Jose. Go with Chase because Wells Fargo Sucks. I had a rough start with them on overdraft fees, but I got the hang of it now. They didn't offer me unsecured credit even though I had a secure credit card for a few years .

I also have to open a bank account soon. I think I'll go with Chase since they're everywhere and have a lot of services.

It will be awesome if we get approved the same week.!!

And I'm behind yall.!! Send my app.November11 application recieved November 13 biometric November20 and till now still waiting but I think this month will have news if not till Sep the3rd will be the day. Let's just not loose our heads for waiting,)

Im right behind you (nov 13) I have hope that one day im getting a email saying im approved lol
