That's great! There isn't anything like this on the East coast that I know of, but to you folks out there take full advantage of what this has to offer!

Dude you can use your country's passport if you have it. I've traveled from Boston to Miami multiple times with it, never without a problem. I suppose you can also use your EAD though...

The day I got approved, I received two letters three days later. Those letters were basically the approval notices. On the fourth day that's when I received my actual EAD card. I sure this is how its been for most people. It usually doesn't take too long for one to receive the actualy approval letters, but I suppose since more people's cases are being approved it may be that its taking a bit longer to produce and send the EAD cards. My suggestion, call USCIS customer service to see what they tell you.

I know one of fave quotes ^^

It is a reality that out there you're going to find unscrupulous/shady lawyers. Whther or not this person paid money to this lawyer it is highly important that he gets in touch with the lawyer and ask him. You also didn't specify the exact date this lawyer sent the application. If its been more than three weeks than there certainly is a need for concern. There are many possibilities to ponder about. Find the lawyer and ask!

. That will change in a bit to card production! Congratulations on your approval!

I agree with angela, Dakween21, you should be able to determine whether you're an aligible candidate or not. The requirements that one must meet can be found pretty much anywhere. Now, me personally I have had a job which I acquired using a fake SSN and I'm still there working. I applied for deferred action and got approved. There are thousands of people of potential DACA beneficiaries who have also worked using fake SSN. But frankly, it shouldn't matter. I definitely believe that if you know you have a clean record and you can prove what's required, you should definitely apply. One important thing is that for all documentation you send to them, make sure there's nothing fradulent that you've used to get a job or some kind of benefit. If you've claimed to be a U.S citizen I can only assume it was to get a job. If you never got trouble for it, I'd say you could be in the clear. If there's something more to that, best thing you can do is contact a lawyer to better determine if you're eligible to apply. Good Luck

Did you get an approval letter for Deferred action but not for a work permit? Have you checked online? I think you'd be the first person I see who's deferred action's case gets approved but not the work permit...

Hi Nilvia, congratulations on your approval. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I hope from here on its all but success!

Plain and simple dude, no. Biometric check does not include any sort of blood or drug test. Just your finger prints, photo and signature. Good luck

I wish there was a loophole around that...

Very interesting. Post, I question its credibility though...

Hi Alex, it seems to me you haven't yet gone through this process of application. When you first send in your application you will then receive a letter that let's you know your application was received and that it was sent to a particular processing center for review. What determines the processing center I believe it has to do with what region you live. However, due to ample amount of applications being submitted it is possible that your application can sent to any random processing center for review. This is for them to better distribute the workload.

Hi Infusion, rest assured that once you're case is approved you're not going to get denied after. If you take a better look at the acceptance letter it should say that you're EAD card may take up to 3o days to be received after production. On this matter I don't think you should worry a whole lot, obviously if it surpasses a long time you could give them a call. But don't worry.

I was thinking about how to begin writing about this entire process of deferred action and how it has been. Today was my approval, the day I waited for so anxiously since its initial announcement. Many things came to my mind, memories. My life as undocumented has been one of struggles, loss of confidence, isolation, depression. I remember that day, friday 15, June 2012. It was just another regular day. I was sitting on the living room, it was about 2pm when I suddenly got the news from my mother about what had been announced. The feeling was unbelievable. I started cheering. Oh man, what a feeling that was. After having lived the life that I've lived since I've been here, DACA being what it is, was and it certainly is enough for me. Many might not be content but this is an opportunity and something is better than nothing. This is an opportunity for us to show America that we're a strong force and what they did, is the best thing they could've done. Overall, I've waited 52 days after sending my application. Took my Biometric appointment September 26th and got approved 33 days later. My processing facility was Vermont. My advise to those still waiting is that you must be patient. Every case is different, every adjudicator is different. Be positive! To those who about to apply the best advise you can get is not to rush on your application. Go over it multiple times, get somebody competent to go over it.

Just as JoseG stated. there could be many different factors. However, that fact that you and your friend are from the same city means nothing. Keep in mind that everybody's case is different. Others have more proof documentation than others.

Hello humco707, As far as Biometrics is concerned there is no pee, blood, or any tests of this kind. What people usually undergo in a Biometric check is finger printing. If you look around the forum you'll see more on that. There's plenty of written topics about what happens at a Biometric appointment. If you stopped smoking whatever it is that you smoke, that would be a very good idea on many general terms including your health. Peace, good luck.

Marriage VS DACA...? I don't think getting married before or after applying for this program is going to raise any suspicions. Unless you assume that one can acquire residency by marriage after DACA approval. Your question isn't very clear to me. But even after getting DACA approval one is still without a status...

Hi Gino10, I'd also like to welcome you to the forum. We're like a small family in here I hope you find the forum somewhat helpful. I'm a bit familiar with this 245-I that came in effect back in early 2001. This I believe was actually a law that came out passed by congress. This law when it came out, many acquired their residency. If you were undocumented but had a job, you're employer could sponsor you and one would eventually acquire residency within a certain period of time. I personally know many people who took advantage of this and are now citizens. It is too bad you had these problems with unscrupulous lawyers. My father was one who applied for this law but unfortunately he got laid off and his case was discontinued. He was almost there too! Now, I'm no lawyer or anything but in the case you get approved for DACA it is highly recommended you seek the advice of an attorney. Many years have passed since the 245-I came out even though you probably already are in their system I doubt you can benefit from what was the 245-I. That's only my opinion. Good luck with this DACA process!

Hello fatboyslimmy, this question is a bit unrelated to what Deferred Action and the Dream Act is all about. Many factors should come to play when buying a firearm for whatever purpose, every state has different policies for buying one. Some states being more strict than others etc.

Hi Ignacio, Welcome to the forum. I hope you find you find it helpful around here in some way or another. Thank you for sharing your story with us. We as undocumented have gone through many hardships and all have our own and unique story to tell. Yours in one clear example. Good luck with the rest of the way...
