Hey everyone, I'm currently in the 150-120 period thats best for renewing DACA. I filled out my I-821D already but I have a problem with my I-765. I lost my EAD, which is needed for the I-765 renewal form, and don't have enough time (or money) to replace it. Is it possible for me to attach the mailer that came with my EAD and a copy of my I-797 as well as my driver's license (and/or two passport photos) instead? Has anyone else applied for renewal without a copy of their EAD? Thanks!

When i go to the SS office, how do i request a print out of my number?

Finally got approved. Its like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, its unreal. Hang in there everyone, and if youve been waiting more than 6 months, do everything you can to get answers!!! Its a burden but this is just the first step.

Did anyone else start getting credit card applications shortly before being approved?

I saw on the other DACA forums that there is a thread for RFE's and how to deal with them. Members posted what USCIS was requesting specifically and what they sent in return to solve the problem. I think itd be good for this forum to have a thread like that too, itd save time and help people who have questions regarding RFE's. Sooooo if you can please post: What information was requested Which Service Center the request came from What you sent to prove the gap in evidence How quickly they responded Whether or not you were approved after returning the RFE Its also good to mention any problems you might have had with responding to RFE's. Thanks!

Q3: To prove my continuous residence in the United States since June 15, 2007, must I provide evidence documenting my presence for every day, or every month, of that period? A3: To meet the continuous residence guideline, you must submit documentation that shows you have been living in the United States from June 15, 2007 up until the time of your request. You should provide documentation to account for as much of the period as reasonably possible, but there is no requirement that every day or month of that period be specifically accounted for through direct evidence. It is helpful to USCIS if you can submit evidence of your residence during at least each year of the period. USCIS will review the documentation in its totality to determine whether it is more likely than not that you were continuously residing in the United States for the period since June 15, 2007. Gaps in the documentation as to certain periods may raise doubts as to your continued residence if, for example, the gaps are lengthy or the record otherwise indicates that you may have been outside the United States for a period of time that was not brief, casual or innocent. If gaps in your documentation raise questions, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to allow you to submit additional documentation that supports your claimed continuous residence. Affidavits may be submitted to explain a gap in the documentation demonstrating that you meet the five-year continuous residence requirement. If you submit affidavits related to the continuous residence requirement, you must submit two or more affidavits, sworn to or affirmed by people other than yourself who have direct personal knowledge of the events and circumstances during the period as to which there is a gap in the documentation. Affidavits may only be used to explain gaps in your continuous residence; they cannot be used as evidence that you meet the entire five-year continuous residence requirement. You don't have to provide evidence of every single month. While its probably the best option, the second best would be to send as much evidence as you can for each year between 2007-2012. As long as you send enough that sufficiently allows USCIS to determine whethet you've maintained continuous residence. Just putting this here for anyone who is curious.

did anyone include proof that they were physically present on june 15th? how would you even prove that specific day?

has anyone who's case been transferred gotten approved yet? any idea how they're going about this? Does your processing time restart or do they just pick up where Vermont left off?

awesome, i have all of those things.

alright thanks!

omg Fresita, congrats, congrats, congrats, congrats. I'm so glad to finally see youve gotten approved. I was starting to wonder what the hell was taking so long. You must feel so great knowing the wait is over!

congrats congrats congrats!

Do you have an ongoing subscription to anything? Xbox live history maybe? If you can find a purchase history that works too.

it might be one of the faster service centers. ive also been seeing people mention that Texas Service Center is also really fast.

thanks everyone, and Fresita its in my signature. Basically ive been waiting since January.

yeah i got transferred at the end of march. at first it seemed like transfers were getting approved fast, but im still waiting so idk. All it means is that wherever your case was before, had too much workload so they sent it somewhere with a lighter workload.

congrats PattiJ!!

that is just awful, honestly. best of luck though, i hope your approval notce isnt far behiind the RFE.

did you notice any more than usual before you got your approval?

no. it just means its been transferred. my case has been "transferred and is now being processed at a local USCIS office" since march 27th. they probably havent even looked at it yet.

congrats and good luck to both of you!

congrats man!

dude congrats! im so glad you finally got approved, you deserve it after all that waiting. good luck!

congrats! congrats, congrats, congrats!

i agree with jjkay, its always some loud asshole who has no idea what a hellish process immigration is talking about people stealing jobs or getting benefits or all kinds of other untrue shit. Find out whatever official info you can, and ignore these asshats.
