  1. I remember when Obama had more details regarding the immigration reform... There were two things I recall; he said he would work on DREAMers' path to legalization (there were detailed descriptions of the possible bill - after a couple years of Green Card you get to apply for citizenship) and he also promised that workers integral to America - like the farmers - would also have an opportunity to walk the path to eventual legalization. His executive order doesn't even scratch the surface in my opinion. While the republicans and conservatives are enraged, I feel like he didn't deliver at all. Sure, it's a step in the right direction but I feel almost betrayed. Shouldn't the DREAMers who pursue education and work to better America get first priority? Why are some liberals hailing him as acting alone to bring on something so radical? It's not radical enough after all of the promises that he's made in the past. Sure, congress is to blame as well but I'm just angry in general. For DREAMers, his executive order was a mere extension to more DACA eligible people. For us, who have already qualified and have DACA, his executive order doesn't do shit. I'm honestly saddened by this. What were your thoughts?
  2. Hello! I haven't been here in awhile.. Been busy since approval! Now it is time for those of you who got approved early to RENEW! 120 days before your last approval expires. Mine expires on 12/12/2014 so I'm starting today to fill out the forms. Luckily, we are exempted from filling out all of those tedious portions and proof that we had to submit for initial review!! Hallelujah!! As some of you already know, the renewal form/directions are different (YAY we don't have to fill a bunch of sections ) It is such a rip off though, I've got to say that we have to pay that darned $465 dollars... AGAIN. Those of you who are starting the renewal process, I found this link helpful, to just double check that you are doing things right on the I821D form: http://www.dreamersare.us/2014/06/completed-latest-uscis-form-i-821d.html I have a question about Item 15 on I-765 (This is a question about RENEWAL of the work permit) 15. Current Immigration Status (visitor, student, etc) Do I put 'Approved for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals' or 'unlawful status' or 'none' as before (when I first applied for it I had put 'none')??? Thanks for reading and I hope you guys find my link helpful! <3

  3. Thoughts On Obama's Executive Order...

    punnysang replied to punnysang's topic in General Discussions

    I never said he should directly do so but he had promised to help work towards that direction. Please read carefully and also I'd respect you more if you could spell correctly Threw and greatful? really? I was just asking other people's opinions for starters and I am personally of the opinion that he didn't strive hard enough towards the direction of greater change.

  4. Renewal Processing Times

    punnysang replied to b923's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    And yes you do have to go in for biometrics again. Same process. You receive a biometrics date shortly after sending in your app!

  5. Renewal Processing Times

    punnysang replied to b923's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    I applied back in August 23 or so for the renewal (which was about 120 days before my last DACA to expire - it expires in December something). I just got approved again on November 17th or something. I checked online so I dunno when it actually got approved but it was all pretty smooth and fast!
  6. Oh yea, even renewals.. Don't forget to add along with your I-765 form and I-765 WS: a copy of your I-94 if you have any a copy of your approved I-765 from last time (I also included a copy of my EAD card just in case as well) and two passport photos (white background)
  7. Yes I realize that but I specifically asked if I should put "None" or "Unlawful Status" or "Approved for DACA" (if you hadn't noticed.. all of those choices express and acknowledge the fact that I'm not given a legal status....... that obviously wasn't the question ) oh man oh man.
  8. edited to reply to another person!
  9. in my opinion, (not based on any actual knowledge..) Unless you have a misdemeanor related to illegal possession of marijuana (which you probably don't since you have the card, unless you got in trouble prior to getting the card), I doubt they will look into people having a medical card. I don't think you should be worried!

  10. Check Your DACA Case Status

    punnysang replied to Admin's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    aw man they suck!!! You are still waiting? Why won't they do it in the order it was received?! It's not really fair.. Hang in there!
  11. I know it's hard to wait patiently, but you'll get yours soon enough! They don't get processed in the order they were received.. good luck to you!!! hang in there! I don't think hardly anyone has been denied so far.. I think only handful of applicants were denied.. You didn't get an RFE, it's good to be in Initial Review. Keep checking everyday and in the meantime, revamp your resume or write cover letters to job postings that you may be interested in. Keep yourself distracted. By the time you get your social security number, you'd be prepared that way.
  12. Did you sign up for the notification by email and text as well? I had received my receipt within 1-2 weeks after sending my application.. (see my signature for exact dates..) Check your email too if you had signed up for the notification (check spam mail folder and everything!) If you have the email, they give you a receipt number in it and from there you can put that number on USCIS website to check your status.. Also, if you hadn't received anything in the mail or email, check if your payment has been received (hopefully you paid with a check? then the status of whether it was received or not would show up in your statement..). Regardless, you should just call USCIS and ask, it is really late. You should have gotten your notice for biometrics already.

  14. I Feel So Close But Yet So Far.......

    punnysang replied to Jasmine2013's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    It's okay! It's easier in California though. Even if you tell someone that you are undocumented, people are more receptive here than in other states. When I was in high school, I told my closest friends and they did not judge any differently. But I know how it feels not being able to get around or be able to get a permit or a driver license when everyone seems to be getting one as soon as they are able to.. I was angsty about it too as a teenager but you grow out of it! You are almost there. You are lucky to be getting this reprieve when you are teenager. It sucked even more when I had graduated from college and still could not drive or work legally because I felt like every single one of my friends were moving ahead of me and I was stuck in a rut, rather involuntarily!!!... So cheer up!

  15. DACA Process [Timelines]

    punnysang replied to EnJR's topic in Dream Lounge

    Yes, it changes to Decision from Initial Review. There isn't anything in between, unless you get an RFE (Request for Evidence)! Keep checking! I hope you hear back soon.
  16. When I went to the SS office on 12/20 (I had received the EAD card in the mail on the 19th), the lady who was working there told me that my EAD issue date was only on 12/13 and she can't file until 15 days have passed after the EAD was issued. I didn't see anyone mentioning this on the forum.. She asked me if it was my first time getting a work permit and I answered yes and she kept telling me that she has to wait to file until 15 days have past. I asked her that I've never heard or read that kind of information on the process of applying for a SSN but she was rude and got irritated with me saying that I wasn't listening to anything she had said.... :/ has anyone faced this kind of issue at the office? She took in my SSN application form but it won't be processed until th 26th or 27th.. I showed her my new passport and an old passport with my I-94, as the form of identification.

  17. Who Helped you with your DACA application

    punnysang replied to Ajlucas's topic in Create a Poll

    I did it myself with the help of my family members and a lawyer that we knew through my family. He just looked it over and I had nothing more to add because it was prepared well.

  18. Who is still waiting for approval?

    punnysang replied to dreamer2008's topic in Dream Lounge

    Be positive! it hasn't been that long! My bio was 10/4 and I got approved 12/13! Maybe you will hear good news right before christmas?!! Good luck! No news is good news.

  19. Whats next?

    punnysang replied to Lorma's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    Like others have said, wait for your EAD! If you are not approved for EAD, you cannot apply for a SSN. Also, the identification does not have to be a passport. It can be from a number of things that can show your birth date and your age. I have provided the link to help with next steps for that purpose.. Reading the linked posts will help!

  20. Whats next?

    punnysang replied to Lorma's topic in Dream Act Questions & Answers

    Did you get your EAD? Take your EAD, birth certificate, passport, I-94, ID and go to a social security center and apply for your SSN. Some may take your passport and not look at other things but bring other identifications just in case that shows your birth date and name. Cancel your ITIN if you have one after getting your SSN. After you get your SSN, if your state allows you to have a state ID/DL (assuming you don't have one), apply for one at the DMV. read these: http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/291-how-to-obtain-a-social-security-number-after-daca-approval/ http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/799-what-to-do-with-itin-after-receiving-ssn/
  21. I hope you get approved soon too! I hated the wait. It makes you feel nervous, I know. You'll hear soon! My bio was 10/4 and I only got approved 12/13. It takes time. I was also very impatient and posting everywhere before!!

  22. DACA Process from START to FINISH

    punnysang replied to JoseG's topic in Dream Lounge

    Please be patient and wait! My bio was 10/4 and I only got approved 12/13. It really depends on when your case gets looked at. Some people who applied back in August haven't heard back yet. I suggest you to not call until at least three months have passed after your biometrics appointment. Good luck!
  23. Congrats Jose on your approval!!
