http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/silver-proposes-dream-act-n-y-article-1.1241493?localLinksEnabled=false I don't know if this has been introduced before but I saw it this morning. Of course people are still going to oppose it but I hope the majority will decide it's a good idea. I probably won't qualify from it since my mom decided to move me to Florida for my last 3 years of high school (knowing we were all going to move back anyway) but I still hope it gets approved!

Hey guys! I just happened to come across this forum while looking up DACA info and I'm so happy that I did! All of you guys seem so friendly and understanding. I applied for deferred action in October, did my biometrics in early November and now I'm just waiting for a reply. My name's Monique. I was born in Trinidad and moved to Brooklyn when I was 8. I also lived in South Florida for 3 years (Didn't like it. I'm a winter person, ironically ) and I moved back to New York last summer. I should be starting college at the end of this month. I'm a pre-med/bio major. So nice to meet you guys!

My EAD moved to Card Production today and I saw it while I was in school and I nearly cried. I'm so happy!

Thanks guys! I got a text message from them around 2ish and then I checked online. It was weird because I didn't get a text for any of the other steps and today I just randomly got the card production message. It was originally sent to Vermont on October 5th and I did my Biometrics on Nov 9th and on Feb 20th it was transferred to Nebraska.

Ugh I just turned 19 and now I don't have health insurance. I get sick too often to not have health insurance.

First time I ever went to a party and it's my birthday. Although I don't appreciate the drugs and the fact I had to use my passport to get in, letting go for a night was something I needed.
-
It always amazes me how little most people know about immigration, how it works and undocumented immigrants. I think that people should be educated about it.
-
I got one on the 20th and on Monday I got a text message saying it was officially transferred. I just hope things get faster now.

Time Lines What's Yours??!!

My application just got transferred from Vermont to Nebraska. It's weird but here's my timeline. -
What an eventful night. I witness racism via the police and now I know that good cop/bad cop is totally real.
-
I hate everything and I really need someone to talk to.
-
Did anyone else's application get transferred to another office? I'm really concerned i got like 4 text messages and emails about it.
-
ASDFGHJKL I was so excited because I finally got that stupid text message. Turns out the just sent it to a different processing place.
-
Okay I've tried being chill about it. I want my approval now :/

Do DACA students get financial aid?
MoniqueMelissa replied to Jason's topic in Life After Deferred Action
I haven't checked since November last year but for NYC students, we don't qualify for financial aid. Currently they're trying to pass an act kind of like the California Dream Act in NYC which will allow us to eventually get financial aid, but we'll see. As for CUNY's, I think they do give financial aid to undocumented students. The lady I spoke too wasn't clear but I think you also have to have good grades to get it. You should call to verify. Good luck! -
I never actually have plans but the one weekend I make legit plans, there's a blizzard.
-
I've officially gone down to checking my status three times a week instead of every 4 hours lol.
-
School has officially kept me from obsessing over the fact I haven't been approved yet. :/
-
A lot of good things have been happening lately so hopefully I get approved soon
-
I hope I get approved soon. What would be even better is if some kind of DREAM Act passed so everyone could get help.
-
I have three hours of free time in school and I don't know what to do so I'm just sitting in a corner awkwardly by myself with my laptop.
-
Good luck! You'll do great!
-
Today was great! I had no idea how much I missed school. Tomorrow I have my core classes! So excited lol
-
First day of classes are tomorrow. I'm so happy I finally get to start. At least it'll take my mind off of DACA.
-
Okay I haven't had an empanada or an alfajor in over a month. I need to start working again.
-
C'mon Vermont, I'm counting on an approval next week so I can get a job on campus.
not worry about it
