Hi everyone, I am currently a community college student with a few more semesters to complete before I transfer to a UC as a microbiology major. Before Jerry Brown signed the CA Dream Act making AB540 students eligible for in-state financial aid, attending a UC didn't seem feasible. But now, the future looks a little more promising and I cannot wait to complete my B.S. As a result, I have already started to look into undergraduate research opportunities. However, I noticed that most research programs funded by the National Science Foundation at the universities require applicants to be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents. My question is, has anyone had any experience applying for research opportunities as a DACA recipient? Any feedback is appreciated Thank you.

Hi everyone. Today I received a notification that my case had been updated. When I checked my case on the USCIS website, it read, "On May 20, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION." Does anyone have an idea of what this could possibly mean? Do you think it means they're looking at my case? Should I be worried? I am really confused. On May 15th, my address on the I182-D was also updated but I never submitted an additional change of address after April. I've checked case numbers after and before my own, and they too have had the same kind of changes made. Should I contact USCIS or do you think I should wait it out?

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well I have a question regarding the AR-11 you submit online to change your adress if you move. I tried searching the forums for this information to see if it was already posted, but I couldn't find it. I apologize of my question has already been answered under another topic. Anyways, I submitted an AR-11 today and was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes for you to receive a text or email notification to alert you that it has been processed?

Hi everyone I've been lurking around this forum for some time now and decided it was time to start contributing. Reading the posts have helped me keep peace and patience amidst the eternal wait and therefore I would like to give a little back. Thank you to all for the support you offer to each other in your posts. It goes to show how caring DREAMers can be Good luck to everyone!!! Keep on trekking towards a better tomorrow.

Thank you for posting! I don't understand Cornyn's first amendment that did pass.Can you help clarify what it would do?

Congratulations!

Thank you for your input! I'm crossing my fingers hoping you're right. UPDATE: Ces2792 you were totally right! I just got approved. This feels awesome . Thank you again!

I'm on the same boat! Hopefully we are approved soon just in time for the summer

Hopefully soon Fresita! My sister just received her approval today after waiting for 8 1/2 months. It made me hopeful about my case

Congratulations!!!

I received the same type of adress change update. But I didn't make any changes so I am confused too :/

Thank you for the suggestion! How did you explain your situation and format the information they ask for?

Today marks 6 mos 11 days since they received my application. My sister has been waiting 7 mos 21 days. If we don't have our paperwork by the beginning of summer, I am going to throw a fit. I want to take my parents out to a really nice dinner already. I can't do that without a paycheck

It's great to hear another story! Thank you for sharing. Hopefully your case is approved very soon so you can take them for the summer Good luck!

$700+app fee. I tried convincing my mother that we did not need a lawyer, but she was paranoid about me making a mistake.

Congratulations!!!!! So exciting

Congratulations

Hi Sotero! Thank you for sharing your story. It is always great to hear about people who decide not to give up after all. Good luck with everything you do! Change is just around the corner

Well I have really had much work experience because I just graduated out of high school in 2012 but I've sold baked goods. And I worked in a factory for 2 months before starting college. Overall, I haven't found myself in a position where I've needed to work. I am extremely grateful that my parents have had the ability to support me and the costs I incur up to now. I really admire those who have worked and gpne to school at the same time even before all these opportunites came to us. It is amazing to me to think that some DREAMers have acquired their Bachelor's and even Master's! All without financial aid or without these documents we receive through DACA. Inspiring indeed

Yes! I think on one occasion I even got up in the middle of the night to check because my dream had been so vivid. But like R2r01992 said, it was all good until I realized it was just a dream :/

Thank you for posting this! I've tried clearing my cache but it still won't show. I am going to try again tomorrow. Hopefully it's not another "glitch" in their system

Thank you very much for all your help! I will give it time before I start worrying.

Congrats! Now you can breathe a little easier Good luck on the test!!!

Congratulations!!!! I can feel your excitement. Yay! Positive energies all around.
