this will most definitely be a roadblock, but the acts committed by these two jerks will only be used negatively by only the most ardent opponents of CIR. Anyone with sense would realize this is unrelated to the struggles and attitudes of most illegal immigrants. It's a shame the Boston Bombing even happened at all, and its a shame that the aftermath is going to cause so much trouble for so many different people.

thanks man. im trying to remain as calm and patient as possible. but all these posts about sending evidence month by month had me a little bit worried.

yeah i graduated HS in 2009 so i my transcript was only good for 2007-2009. and i sent my diploma. luckily in 2010 and 2011 i had applied for something with USCIS so i was able to send all those documents as proof. the rest were billing histories and various recipts i could find with my name and the date. hopefully thats enough, i mean, if i left the country and came back im sure it would come up somewhere when they check it.

theyre definitely not on august 31st still. this process has been slow but i think its pretty ridiculous that theyd still be on august while people from january 2013 have been approved.

the transfers seem to be random. im guessing Leu got transferred because of the pipe burst that happened at the CSC.

@alequiroz maybe theyre stuck on the background check? someone with the same name as you has a long criminal history and theyre trying to clear it up or something? 8 months is a really long time for them to not even have looked at your case. maybe you just have a slow agent. Either way im sure theyll approve you soon, they have to. @Leugenia27 im really hoping they put a priority on transferred cases and that mine will be approved in a month like the other transferred cases ive seen. Between the end of april and the beginning of may would be a month for me so well see what happens. thanks for the kind words!

most of the advice says dont call if it hasnt been 6 months and my case is barely four months old so i havent called. and theyll send you a letter or email/text if youre signed up for that. My case status was updated to transferred adn then a few days later i got letters saying that my case was sent to Nebraska.

i havent. i was sent to vermont and then transferred to nebraska at the end of march. im getting worried though because i didnt send every single month. just as much stuff as i could find for each year. im just hoping that isnt a problem.

it was for Leugenia27 but your answer is helpful..ive been seeing people saying that you HAVE to send it month by month and that tons of evidence would speed up your case. but clearly thats not true if youre still waiting. I hope you hear something soon, ive only been waiting for a few months and i cant stand it, i can only imagine how frustrated you are. Don't lose hope, at this point they pretty much have to approve you. good luck!

did you send evidence for every month from 2007-2012?

are they putting priority on the transferred cases? it seems like the people who have been transferred are only waiting a month or so to get their approval. i hope this is the case. either way, congrats! best of luck with whatever you decide to do next!

congrats! so good to see all these approvals coming in lately. good luck with whatever you decide to do with your approval status!!

did you send evidence for each month or just whatever you could find?

i think they might stay in vermont. the ones that got transferrred were sent out around the time of the hurricane and i think thats what held them up.

anything with your name, the date and if possible your address. you can also send a short letter from a family member or some kind of community leader saying that you have been here continuously. if you have some sort of ongoing billing history that has your name and the dates listed clearly, that would be good too.

deferred action. its what we've all filed for.

congrats guys, how much evidence did you send? did you receive RFE's? i got transferred from Vermont in late march and im worried i didnt have enough evidence.

sent mine on december 29th, wouldve sent it earlier but my transcript got lost in the mail. i got accepted january 3rd, did bios on the 31st and have been waiting since then. really worried that i didnt send enough evidence.

try to use an official photo id. a school ID would work great if you have one.

does the wait time really start from when you sent in your application? i was told it starts after biometrics.

dont feel pressured, i wish my approval would come in already, the waiting is where the real pressure is. Like Aled said, you have everything you need to change your life and take control over how things work out. Use that to your full advantage! Good luck with your job hunt!

i dont think you have to send every single month, just enough evidence so that it all pieces together well enough for them to see that youve maintained residency here. itd be kind of ridiculous for them to expect every applicant to have every single month of every single year.

good luck man. theyll accept it and schedule you for bios pretty quick. then you play the waiting game. hope everything works out for you!

the RFE is just a request for more evidence like the stuff you sent with the original application. dont be too worried, in most cases theyll tell you what theyre looking for.

from what i can tell DACA approval will cut your greencard waiting time in half, and youll recieve citizenship immediately after applying for it instead of waiting three years like other immigrants woull have to. not 100% sure though. We also have to consider that this bill might not pass.
