without inspection means that you entered the US without a visa. so if you and/or your family crossed the border and did not have legal paperwork to do so, then you have entered the US without inspection.

when i get my EAD card, the first thing i'm doing is going to the DMV and taking my written test then wait a week and get my license. hopefully by then i'll be done with school and be able to apply for a job at the same hospital my mom works at. that's a great job with benefits then once settled in the boyfriend's new house, i'll start helping my mom fix up her house.

some good info, itzel. thanks for the heads up

yes, it is the Deferred Action. DACA just stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. feel free to ask any question you have about anything and hoping I or the other people on this forum ca help you.

itzel, you need to come to my house and organize my office...lol jk

I have all my paperwork. just waiting on my birth certificate to be translated and i'm good. this is worse then waiting for Navidad. at least at Navidad there are pretty lights to look at....lol good luck everyone.

i read this and think it might be useful . I too have looked at the I-765 form and was thinking about what category we, DACA applicants, would fit in. reading this made since because from the looks of what DACA would give us, we would not fit into any of the categories that the I-765 has of right now. here is the link http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=73ddd59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD this states that DACA applicants will NOT be able to use the exisiting I-765 form as it is. look for the blue section that is titled Deferred Action. we will have to wait until the 15th to know the EAD form will look like as it will be catered to those filing for DACA. hope it helps happy reading

i will be using them TODAY!!! thanks for the link

Itzel, that is AWESOME!!!

por desgracia, porque eres mayor de 21 años ahora, la espera es larga para los "hijos de ciudadanos de los EE.UU. mayores de 21 años". Que se aplicaría a esta nueva ley - de acción diferida de llegadas de la Infancia. Aquí está el enlace sobre la documentación que usted necesita. http://reformimmigrationforamerica.org/blog/blog/deferred-action-what-you-need-to-know Espero que ayude

if tattoos are grounds for dismissal, then I am in TROUBLE!!! lol

ya que su padre es un ciudadano de los EE.UU., ha tratado de aplicar a través de él? cuándo se ha convertido en un ciudadano de EE.UU.? antes o después de cumplir los 21 años? como a lo largo y cuando puedan demostrar que han estado en los EE.UU. desde el año 2005, entonces debería ser aplicable a aplicar.

right. i'm going to file on my own too. i dont think the forms are going to be too hard to understand. i'm thinking if the youngest you can be is 15, they have to make the form simple enough for everyone to understand. doing it myself, will save me at least $200 as well.

SHAME on them. that sucks. i'm sorry itzel.

thanks itzel. think i'll use them too. saves me a 3 hr trip (to and from) the consulate.

good advice Aled

true that DACA only gives us 2 yrs but it is RENEWABLE*. which means about a 3 to 6 months before your DACA and EAD expire you just apply again.

$34!!!! please share, if it's online. that would save me a trip to the consulate..lol

Rodrigovela17, that is why you will submit both form at the same time. Once your DACA app is approved you EAD app will be approved as well. Once, you have your EAD card, you can take it so the SSA office and apply for a SSN.

cool. thanks for the info Itzel!!

very true itzel. my mom was telling me that the mexican consulate should be able to do it to. i was going to call on monday as well. (hopefully i wont be on the phone forever this time, lol)

good point itzel. where are you getting your BC translated? let me know how that goes?
