true. and i honestly think that it will happen this yr. i think this time around not only do we have a different president but the republicans seem to know now, more then before, that it needs to get done.

i would write it the same way it is written on their ID (if they have any) or the same way it's written on any legal papers they have.

AWESOME post brother!!!

ok, this is what the SSA has come out with in regards to getting a SSN with DACA. i would print the link below, take it to the SSA office and try to apply again. as long as you have your birth certificate, you can apply. if the person processing you application gives you a hard time, ask to speak to a supervisor. http://ssa.gov/pubs/...rred_action.pdf in regards to the state ID from TN, you need to google the DMV of TN and see what are the requirements for getting an ID http://www.tn.gov/sa...se/idonly.shtml

the way i understood it is that the 4 to 6 month waiting process is for the I821D, which makes sense, given that USCIS still has 90 days to make a decision on the I-765 AFTER the make a decision on the I-821D. so if really put to the waiting limits, one could wait up to 9 months for both an approval on the I821D and the I-765 combined.

checking your case does help...lol however, it is also important to not compare your case to anyone elses. not even your boyfriend. although you filed on the same day and did bios on the same day, it is not set in stone that your applications will be process by the same person. your application and be with one person and your boyfriends application can be with someone else at USCIS. meaning that your applications will be processed differently and will not be approved at the same time. also, with the applications being process by different people at USCIS, this could mean that although you feel that you sent in good evidence, the person processing the application may not see it that way and could issue a RFE which could delay the process just a bit. not saying any of this to discourage you by any means but just to give you a heads up on how things are done.

USCIS transferring cases from CA to TX and VT to NE is to ease the workload on the Service Centers. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong with your application or case or that your case is going to be processed slower or faster. Like with your case before, you will just have to wait til a decision is made on your case.

not. just make sure you change your address with the post office too. that way all your mail (well, the majority of it) will go to your new address and not the old one

you never got an email saying that USCIS changed your address?? i moved as well during my application process and i received a letter stating that my address was changed and that was it. since then, i've gotten all my USCIS stuff at the new address.

even if you apply and get denied, they're not going to report you to ICE. you'll just be in the same situation you are now. no papers, no nothing.

not necessarily. what did the cop say after you got pulled over?

DACA guideline state that if one is not granted DACA then one can not re-apply unless there has been an admin mistake on the part of USCIS. If USCIS Does Not Exercise Deferred Action in Your Case If USCIS decides not to defer action in your case, you cannot appeal the decision or file a motion to reopen or reconsider. USCIS will not review its discretionary determinations. USCIS will apply our policy guidance governing the referral of cases to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the issuance of Notices to Appear (NTA). Your case does not involve a criminal offense, fraud, or a threat to national security or public safety, your case will not be referred to ICE for purposes of removal proceedings except where DHS determines there are exceptional circumstances. For more detailed information on the applicable NTA policy visitwww.uscis.gov/NTA. Administrative Errors You may request a review using the Service Request Management Tool process if you met all of the process guidelines and you believe that your request was denied because of an administrative error. Examples of administrative errors include USCIS denying your request for deferred action because: USCIS believes you abandoned your case by not responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE) and you claim that you did respond to the RFE within the prescribed time; or USCIS mailed the RFE to the wrong address, even though you had submitted a Form AR-11, Change of Address, or changed your address online at www.uscis.gov before the issuance of the Request for Evidence.

traffic tickets will not affect the decision on your DACA. however, the possibility of you getting an RFE because of that is good. they may ask for the court papers or for copies of the tickets. also, once you are able to legally get your DL, you might not able to do so until those tickets are paid off. also, seeing how you havent paid them, i assume you didnt show up for court either? if i'm correct then, there could be a warrant out for your arrest. what i would do, if i were you, i would, if you can, go online and see if you can look at your cases online. if you can, it should say in the court minutes if there was a warrant issued for you. while waiting for a decision on your DACA, i would take care of the tickets and see about getting copies of them along with court records.

ok, the answer is that you dont need to take your old SSN card. she just wrote down her # on the app and that was it. so, i guess when you're approved you can just write it down and thats it

that shouldnt matter. i dont think . how did you get the SSN, in the first place? like through family or another avenue? (sorry if i'm being noisy) since it's been that long since its been lost, i dont think filing any kid of police report will do any good. i know on the SSN application it ask, if you ever been issued a SSN before so you'll have to list it on there. i'm just not sure if you'll have to show the actual card. let me ask a friend who also had a SSN before DACA what she did when she applied for her new card.

yeah, those are personal checks. personal checks can be used, however, USCIS will transfer the check into electronic funds and void the check once cleared. also, from what i have been told (by my lawyer) USCIS waits till the funds clear the bank to start processing your application. if this is true or not, i am not completely sure but if true, this could delay the process 7 to 10 days. you can get a money order from Chase, however, they charge $5 for it. using a USPS money order is best. it cost less then $2 and will clear right away then USCIS receives your application.

who said that you couldnt claim it as lost? how long has it been since its been lost? once you have that number, it's yours FOREVER. i would, still write it done when you apply for the new SSN. also, i would, if possible, get a credit history on your number. if lost, there is the possibility of it being used by someone else and ruining your credit. and that's the last thing you need when trying to start your life off.

you number will not change, however, what will change is what the SSN card will say on the bottom. it will change from "Not Valid for Employment" to “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION.” also, when one becomes a PR, none of those terms will appear on the SSN card. it will look just like everyone else's SSN who is a USC.

i've heard of some people using their college IDs and not having a problem but if i were you, i would take all my college IDs along with your birth certificate. if you sent in your birth certificate as evidence then it should have been translated. taking a copy of your translated birth certificate would be a good idea as well. seeing how the whole process doesnt take that long, i would arrive a few minutes early just so you have time in case you do need to explain anything.

np, mind sharing your timeline. thanks

if your case is transferred, it could. no one really know how long it takes to have a decision made once your case is transferred. if your case is transferred then you should get an email or letter stating so. seeing how the transferred happened on the 8th of this month and was mentioned on the 12th (today), it might take some time (maybe a week or so) to know if your case was transferred.

if you already have account with USCIS, when you log in, on the left side of the page, there is a link called "My Account" click that and make sure you have a phone number assigned to your file. next click on "My Portfolio" . make sure the boxes to the left of your cases are checked then click on where it says "Mobile Alert On" after that, under where it says Email Alert and Mobile Alert, there should be a "Y" in the box meaning that the alerts have been turned on.

i also tired to drop my second last name because i dont use it at all and SSA wouldnt let me. the lady told me to write my name the way it was on my EAD, birth certicate, and passport.

exactly, E-Verify and Biometrics is THE way of tracking immigrants. i think there is going to be a lot that is going to stop people from applying for CIR. when ever it comes out. the cost. the amount of the fine. the whole back taxes issue. criminal record, etc.... i've also read what the "path to citizenship" entails thus far, and the 8 to 10 yr waiting period would be for those who do not fall with in 3 categories: 1.) have a relative Petition already on file 2.) are a farm worker 3.) are an approved DACA applicants. thos falling into those 3 categories would have a wait time of about 2 years to be a PR then would need to wait another 5 in order to apply for citizenship. all those who do not fall with in those 3 catergories, will need to apply for the special visa, wait the 8 to 10 yrs, then apply to AOS to a PR, then wait another 5 yrs to apply for citizenship after becoming a PR. this, in my opinion seems fair to all those involved.
