Your approval will happen - Many factors come into play when reviewing applications. Here are some assumptions and facts: USCIS is not reviewing applications on a first come, first served basis Perhaps, some applications/individuals are easier to approve, due to background screenings, etc Remember that USCIS is also revewing other cases, in addition to DACA - think of it as having a bunch of piles, and then DACA is added on top of the piles The increased number of new applicants has decreased the turnover rates of many Service Centers My assumption is that some Service Centers are experiencing a high level of applications, and therefore are re-routing applications either to other Service Centers or Local USCIS satellite offices (It has happened before - Cal to Nebraska, Vermont to Nebraska, Vermont to Local Office, etc) (If anyone has any rebuttals to the above statements, please correct me where I was mistaken) Therefore, wait patiently...I know it is hard, and it is even harder when you know/have heard of someone getting approved 2 months, let alone two weeks, since their biometrics were taken...but it will happen...either you get an RFE, or the approval, but you will eventually hear from them...I hope you get the latter and not the former! Try to avoid checking your case status every. single. day., and keep your mind busy...it will come as a surprise, but you will be glad it happened... They received my App on Aug 16, had Bios on Sep 14th, and was approved this past Feb 14th...I was in your same boat...therefore, it will eventually happen...Trust me

Perhaps the IRS will just start accounting for your taxable income (as Cesar The Super), but my question would be, what if your employer found out about the discrepancy in the SSN's? Have you told them? Do you plan to? Has anyone had a similar experience? Care to share?

Dude, I agree with you 100% However, I only generalize with my FRIENDS, and I joke around with their stereotypes...just because they are my friends and I have that level of intimacy with them...I have Asian friends, some of them engineers, and I joke about that...I have Jewish friends, and I am Catholic, and I joke around with them, as they do with me...because we are friends... However, I would not use stereotypes nor generalizations around someone I don't know, because they would get offended and I would feel uncomfortable... It has happened before, it won't happen again...

It's funny because you are a different breed of Troll LOL

Remember that they only count business days... You guys are taking into account Holidays, Weekends, etc etc... This link will help you calculate how much you have really been waiting: http://adreamact.com/topic/884-working-days-calculator/

Your approvals will come in due time guys... No worries and keep it up! BTW - Congrats Karry!

My work here is done!

Looooooona! Yes, the Sailor Moon reference, just for you

Here is the link for those of you that want to check how many business days you have been waiting...drop the calculators, put away the fingers and the calendars, and go here...you are welcome! http://adreamact.com/topic/884-working-days-calculator/

Do you know why you are awesome?? Because I was able to access the Senate Hearing on JPM's $6 Billion Losses, much of it caused by a trader in the London Office nicknamed 'The London Whale...' Yes I am a Banking nerd...big woop, wanna fight about it?

BTW - I posted the same exact thing on that FB page...that should spark a nice debate LOL

I Laughed My Ass Off at the comments below the post! They Took Our Jobs!

I sent telephone bills (since they go month by month), what Wendy suggested (bank statements), gym receipts, and other bills that I received... Just be very meticulous with what you send, so you can be sure that you are approved...which you'll be

Guys - 'Patience is a virtue' and 'good things come to those who wait.' So try to be patient, your approval will come... Remember, USCIS has stated that they are not working 'first come, first served...' Also, keep in mind that the Service Centers still have to take care of other applications...DACA was just a pile added into a pile, that was on top of another pile...sitting on another pile... So just be patient, try to distract your mind and avoid checking your status everyday...your approval will come when you least expect it (that's the beauty of it )

One thing that caught my attention is the fact that a requirement will be to pay 'deferred income taxes.' What's interesting, is the fact that if 'someone' has used/been using another SSN to work and pay taxes, you will owe 'your' personal share of income taxes according to the SSN provided to you, regardless of the taxes you have paid in the past...and I would not suggest any rebuttals to this...they know some individuals have used other SSN's to work and are willing to look the other way...so don't make them turn YOUR way...

I wouldn't use anything that has a Fake SSN on it, or that could be traced back to you using one... Reason is using a Fake SSN is considered a felony (read Identity theft/fraud), and purchasing fake id's in the black market is also a felony... Therefore, refrain from sending stuff that has the SSN you have been working with on it... Remember, you are sending your info to the government, and they will scrutinize the heck out of us to make sure that we are not a threat to national security, and they will look for any discrepancies to either send an RFE, or deny the case altogether... It happens, has happened, and will continue to do so until all dreamers are accounted for...

Very interesting! Thanks for posting... I knew we would have to pay additional fees other than the application fees... Therefore, my suggestion, start saving, because something similar will be passed in Congress this year!

Some do, some don't... It all depends on their level of cultural sensitivity, and the way they cope with diversity...Another huge factor is their level of education... I have come to realize that as people are exposed to higher education, great metropolitan areas, or both, they tend to just treat everyone similarly (either good or bad, regardless of background)... One anecdote: I lived in NY for around 6 months, and one thing that caught my attention was that one day I was passing by Grand Central going to Murray Hill, and I noticed that one of the guys that sell Halal Food was doing his prayers (he was Muslim and he got on his knees in the middle of pedestrian traffic to pray - huge display of devotion)...I found this beautiful, but many tourists were staring, pointing, taking pictures, etc...regular New Yorkers were just swinging by in a hurry (like always )...Obviously they notice it, but they are accustomed to it... The following picture, I took while going downtown on the FDR...It basically summarizes NYC's attitude towards people, and drives my point across...

You tell'em Gurl! Snap Snap!

You couldn't have said it better! In every race, background, religion, etc (I don't see color; I see people): you have productive people that contribute to society and add value you have leechers It is your decision as to with whom you want to associate with... (and I mean 'your decision' in general, not 'your decision' as in someone in particular)

I agree - My opinion: Work hard, earn your bread and sanctify your work. 'let him not eat, him who does not work' - if you are able to work, work (work is also studying). I am capitalist at heart, therefore, earn your livelihood regardless of your job as long as it is honest...no honest job ever demoralized a human!
