Anybody applying for Advanced Parole or Adjustment of Status after Approved DACA?? If you have, has it been approved and what steps did you take? Really want to begin traveling abroad!! Any advice?!

Hey all. I've been a lurker since nov 2012. Just wanted to thank u all for contributing to this forum, espacially for those that read in silence. Just wanted to come out of lurk-mode and say how grateful I am for the guidance of this site. Many of us came to America not knowing what our lives would embark on because we came at such a young age. It sucks but I'm just grateful for a change in "status" (not legal status but being able to have an ID and work legally is still great) and I hope it gets better sooner than later. I applied for DACA Jan 29 2013 and received my Approval notice (April 29) and Work permit today (5/2). I really hope to one day travel abroad but I'm thankful for this first step. PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING WITH THIS PROCESS!!! I kinda forgot about it and randomly checked my status online to see a message saying my approved items are in the mail. I was shocked with happiness and received it the next day in the mail. God is great and his time will forever be the best time. Just in time for my new job!! Hope all of us get approved and get what you deserve. Please continue what you guys are doing on this site and your blessings will continue to pour in. Later guys...

Let us know what happens. You may be one of the few that get something better. You never know...

Hey guys... Here's my update: I got an email about 5 days after I left (may 5) the MVA saying I have been electronically verified so I can come back and get my license. Got my learners permit today and since I already took my driving classes years ago and I'm older than 25 I can go get a full license in a week. So happy to have an ID like everyone else. Truly grateful and I hope everyone else gets the same. I am in MD

I went to the MvA to get my learners permit and was told my "status" hasn't been updated in the homeland security database that they check for everyone that isn't a us citizen. So I couldn't get my Learners and have to wait anywhere from 5 days to 60 days in order to get it. Basically after they electronically approve it although I had all my correct documents with me. Seemed a bit sketchy. The lady even showed me the computer screen of the database they check. Anybody else have this issue? Did I go to early (after being approved on April 29)?? How long did you wait before you went to mva (some states its DMV)?? I want to go again next week to if they'll say the same thing. I thought its approved electronically before we even get physical copies and things mailed to us.

Thank you. You too!

Besides... Imagine all those ppl that are here that weren't even eligible to fill for DACA (age, no proof, convicted felony, etc)... So Be grateful that you were one of those that qualified!

Do you pray?? May sound really cliche but I am a stronggggg believer that God only gives us what we can handle. No man (or government) is bigger than him. Instead of worrying, have faith. I mailed my DACA, prayed on it, fasted (not eating to focus on prayer and faith), then left it alone. Checked my DACA status online 4 times in 3 months. That was all the energy I gave it... Nothing more because I have been living and waiting for 25 years so I knew I could continue that patience for a few more months. You can't allow this to break you. Good luck and try to stay busy... I read a lot so that also distracted me. Your time will come....

What if you already have a SS?? But its raggedy and I need a New one. I've been approved for daca and received my work permit today. Can I just go get a New one? also are your SS cards showing "work permit only" or " expires on: (date)" Came here legally but overstayed and at that time my mom applied for SS cards so that's how I have one already.
