I went to SSA office yesterday and the lady at the counter said my card would take twice the normal amount to process because my info on USCIS has my middle name on their info page twice, yet my EAD has no name errors. She said the info would have to be corrected so I don't recieve a card with my middle name on it twice as well. Anyone encountered this problem before? And how long did it actually take to get your card in the mail?

Hello to everyone. Like to start off by saying this is a great site. A little info about me. My name is Luis, I have been here since 1 month old. My mom was pregnant with me here in CA where we used to live and left to Mexico to be along my grandparents (months preg). Then came right back with a 1 month old. I'm 27 now, married to A US citizen and have 2 great boys. Unfortunately we have not been able to apply through my wife since I don't want to leave the country. My lawyer sent my app for DACA Apr 4th and I went in for bios Apr 17th (walk in). The wait starts. My dad was here for the amnesty of 86 but due to issues with his file getting lost he want able to become a US citizen until just recently, it was too late for him to claim me since I was already over 18. I'm already lucky enough to have a great job as I work for my inlaws as a subcontractor. But getting DACA will finally allow me to drive without fear and be able to take my family on a well deserved vacation.

Yeah addresses don't make a difference in wait time. I have lived in 4 states and over 10 addresses.

I'm sure your approval is right around the corner Edwin. Best of luck. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Good luck. I hope your wait is short.

Congrats.

Exactly it's all based on when they actually look at your app and the officer reviewing your app. My packet was small and I graduated in 2003.

Do they ask everyone at the bus stop for documentation? In IL I see them on the interstate from time to time.

Some places will ask for the matricula and ignore the birth certificate. Also my matricula expired in 2010 and it wasn't an issue. But you do need to take your EAD so they can verify you with USCIS.

If you included your court documents there shouldn't be a problem. Worst that can happen is you get a RFE asking for court depositions.

I also work in a different town everyday. My lawyer suggest I memorize my alien # or write it down and I can use my DL with my alien # in case of an immigration inspection.

I also have not taken the route of applying through my wife that is a US citizen. My lawyer said even with a waiver I can get denied re-entry. It's just too much of a risk as of this movement. Good luck with your case. I don't know if you have any children together but I'm sure the kids would help your case.

I used my matricula that expired in 2010. The guard that looked at it didn't say anything about it being expired.

Process moves pretty fast up to time biometrics are taken. After that it just depends on the service center the app is sent to.

Thanks I hope it's not a big issue then.

Did you send your court dispositions along with your application? And driving without a license isn't a misdemeanor in many states but driving with a suspended license is. Even though I never had a license just a permit it was suspended because I was driving without insurance. I hope you get approved soon, we all make mistakes it shouldn't have to end up costing us the ability to move forward.

I got a tm from a 5 digit number saying my case was updated, ended up being ead ordered for production on 5-10-13, and today I received a tm from an actual number from VA saying my case was updated and also was my ead ordered for production but with a diff date 5-13-10. Anyone had this happen with 2 diff dates and different tm #'s?

Your case was probably sent to Texas Service Center. They seem to be approving cases within a month after Biometrics. Good Luck.

Thanks arla2004. I hope all the dreamers still waiting can be approved soon as well.

If you sent your court documents along with your application I'm sure you will be ok. I hope your case gets reviewed soon and approved. Good luck.

Just now got another tm saying my DACA was approved. Good luck to everyone still waiting. Be nice if you could request a transfer to a service center that moves quicker.

I don't think misdemeanors hold your case up. I got approved today 3 weeks after bios and I have 2 driving while license suspended. I did however use a lawyer for both cases and they happened when I was 18. I'm now 27 and have had no traffic violations since then. However my case was sent to TX and they have been moving along quickly
