you'll get your EAD in the mail then you can go to the SSA office and apply for your SSN. once you have that you can apply for your DL/ID. once you have that, you should be able to travel within the US. if you're going to pass through a checkpoint, i would take your EAD and the approval letter along with you along with your DL/ID

it means that your I-765 was approved. if correct, you will receive notice that your I-821D is approved as well soon

in reading it, most of it besides the college education requirements sound pretty much like the requirements for DACA. if this is the case, then i hope that it gets passed before june 2013 before i turn 31.

how about something like "although i currently to do not have an income or assets, i would like to contribute financially to my household, therefore lessening the burden on my husband." maybe? "i put my income and expenses down andjust simply said that my expenses outweigh my income and thus i rely on my mother in order to keep me current with the bills that i have."

sad to say that if you live in AZ, you wont be able to get an ID or a DL. found this on the AZ DMV website. http://www.azdot.gov/mvd/driver/federal-immigration-program.asp

i dont think any one is "attacking" him in what he is saying and you are right in terms of everyone has the right to freedom of speech. however, what I am saying is if he "feels and/or thinks" that having a SSN is so much as a hassle then why even apply for DACA? why not just stay in the same situation he was in and be done with it? and in terms of advance parole, being "illegal" in the US comes with certain consequences. unfortunately one of those consequences is not being able to leave the US unless given permission to do so. as much as we may not like it, it is what USCIS has set forth.

if you lived in any other country, you would have to obey the rules and laws of that country. living in the US is the same way, whether you are legal or not. those living in the US illegally face the same punishment for breaking laws as everyone else does. given that a few are more harsh then others. i do agree with others here that you seem to complain more then others. many, if not all (besides you) on this forum are happy about this opportunity that we have been given. if you do not like the opportunity, then why did you apply for DACA? why not just live your life as you did?

i've gotten a job after DACA!!!

timeline in signature!!!

if and when you file for divorce and when it is finalized, i would call USCIS and ask them. you'll need to send USCIS a copy of your divorce decree and probably other papers as well.

glad you found a place to vent. here are my answers to the questions. 1.) i dont feel like my situation has affected my love life. each one of my exes --there have only been 3-- have all known about my situation. 2 of them i have told up front and they didnt care and the last one i told after i got approved and had my EAD. 2.) i've worked on and off since i was 19, mostly minimum wage jobs. i never kept a job for that long and tired to save as much money as i could. living with my mom or my grandparents helped me save money as they provided most of the basics that i needed. other then not being about to drive, i dont think my social life has been affect. i still went out with friend and pitched in for gas when i could. i lived in a small town so after i was 21, getting into the bar wasnt that big of a deal because usually the bouncer knew me of one of my aunts. 3.) the only people that know about my situation are my family and my ex boyfriends. none of my friends know just because i feel like if someone isnt going to be my friend because of something that i had no control over then i dont need them as a friend. 4.) the one and only thing that i ever wanted to do was join the military. but what i have now and the job i have are all that i can ask for so i'm happy

this should explain more about it. the lady asked me because i was wearing my glasses and not contacts. cant stand touching my eye ball....lol but yeah, my DL says that i have to wear my glasses

in CA, you do not have to take a drivers ed class in order to get your permit if you are over 18. the best way to do it is, make an appointment online for the DMV. study the handbook front to back. most of the questions are common sense but study nonetheless. the day of your appointment, arrive about 10 to 15 mins early so that you can fill out the form before you get in line. once you're in line, they will take your application. give them your EAD and SSN when they ask for it. they will give you the test and point you to an another where you can take the test. once you're done, they will grade it right there and then. if you pass, then you will get your permit. even though you're over 18, having a permit DOES NOT mean that you can drive alone. you will need to have somone who has a DL and over 25 in the car with you when you drive. and yes, it says that in the handbook. you will also need to take a vision test. it's simple and basically the same as at the eye doctor. if you wear glasses normally then they will ask you to take the vision test without your glasses first and then with your glasses. if they determine that you need your glasses while you drive, your permit and DL will state say. and yes, if a cop pulls you over and you are not wearing your glasses, they can give you a ticket for that. most times, they will give you a warning, if they say something about it.

when people were first starting to be approved, there were some that were told to wait 10 days from the issue date on their EAD. when i applied for mine, i did not wait the 10 days and did not have a problem applying for my SSN. the lady who helped me, took my EAD and passport, asked me some questions and I was done.

i've used my passport it travel within the US and had no problems doing so. passed through TSA and never had a problem. i've been traveling to and from michigan from california since i was 8 and flying back and forth since i was 16.

i would think that opening up a new store in Canada would qualify as business related which would fall under one of the guidelines that USCIS states as a reason for Advanced Parole.

so i dont know what kind of lawyer you got but the application for the Advanced Parole is form I-131 and you can get it on the USCIS website. this is what USCIS states about Advanced Parole: New - Q3: If my case is deferred pursuant to the consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals process, will I be able to travel outside of the United States? A3: Not automatically. If USCIS has decided to defer action in your case and you want to travel outside the United States, you must apply for advance parole by filing a Form I-131, Application for Travel Document and paying the applicable fee ($360). USCIS will determine whether your purpose for international travel is justifiable based on the circumstances you describe in your request. Generally, USCIS will only grant advance parole if you are traveling for humanitarian purposes, educational purposes, or employment purposes. You may not apply for advance parole unless and until USCIS defers action in your case pursuant to the consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals process. You cannot apply for advance parole at the same time as you submit your request for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals. All advance parole requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If USCIS has deferred action in your case under the deferred action for childhood arrivals process after you have been ordered deported or removed, you may still request advance parole if you meet the guidelines for advance parole described above. However, once you have received advance parole, and before you actually leave the United States, you should seek to reopen your case before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and obtain administrative closure or termination of your removal proceeding. Even after you have asked EOIR to reopen your case, you should not leave the United States until after EOIR has granted your request. If you depart after being ordered deported or removed, and your removal proceeding has not been reopened and administratively closed or terminated, your departure may result in your being considered deported or removed, with potentially serious future immigration consequences. If you have any questions about this process, you may call the ICE Office of the Public Advocate through the Office’s hotline at 1-888-351-4024 (staffed 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday) or by email [email protected].

as weird as it sounds, i cant wait to do my taxes next yr.

i think because it is for employment purposes, then Advanced Parole would be granted but I would check with a lawyer about it.

there are 36 questions. 18 on front and 18 on back. if you fail the written you have to wait 7 days to take it again. after the 3rd failed attempt, you have to pay to take it again.

if you do not like the topic, you do not have to be on the forum. people come here not only to get answers to questions they may have but also to vent their frustrations with the DACA process.
