Hi Has anyone applied for green card while under daca? if so, did you have to state it on the application? Have to pay the adjustment of status? curious. thanks

I live in NYC, and I am fortunate to able to attend one of the cuny universities, before I applied for DACA I was paying my way through because it is affordable. After DACA, I read we don't qualify for Aid, after doing my own research I applied anyway and was granted aid, something I thought wasn't possible. I filled in the application gave my Alien number and just like that aid that will covers my fall semester. I am happy about that and wonder if anyone else had gotten aid,tap,grants through fafsa? They say, we may not get federal aid but we might qualify for state and college aid and the only way to check is to apply--which I did.

I hope democrats stay in power... why? because with the surge of more people coming here hoping for a opportunity, I'm afraid they might revoke the dream act and hundreds of dreamers who were in the shadows will now be exposed...

Summer courses are tough because it is only about 5 weeks long and there is a new topic everyday that you have to retain. So when I passed the class, I wasn't sure if anything could top that feeling. Being approved the same week topped it. No greater feeling. Good luck, to everyone who is waiting. It is stressful I know. The last 10 years of my life has been rocky and painful and it is not fun standing in the shadows. So I wish everyone the best of luck.

because there are still a lot of people waiting for a reply on their applications.

The wait is driving me crazy... I can just imagine how those individual who has been waiting for than 3 months must feel.

Yesterday when I received my LIN number and was informed it was being forward to Nebraska. I looked up my status. There were more than 5 boxes. One box was in RFE and other things. When I checked today I saw only five boxes and am in the Initial Review slot. The next box after is Decision, Post Decision Activity and Card/Document Production. Is that how everyone possesses is?

They sent me a letter saying that my stuff is being forwarded to Nebraska. Waiting on my biometric date. Does that take forever? Date Application Sent: 3/10/14 Lockbox: Chicago Mail Method: Express mail Received Date: 3/11/14 Date of Acceptance e-mail/text: 3/19/14 Date of I-797 C Notice of Action: Service Center: Nebraska Date of Biometrics: N/A Date of EAD Approval: N/A Date of EAD Received: N/A

How long after they recieved your paper work did you get a Biom date? i'm very curious. Thanks.

yeah... i think i will stay away from the pell grant till my mom petition me. i'm just confused as to why approve me or anyone for that? i swear broken systems.

I definitely got Tap which is State Aid. What i find weird is that my school says i also got the Pell Grants as well , which confuses me because daca doesn't qualify for federal.

Congrats! Good luck :-)

i would apply if i were you, you were young.

I know how that feels. My sister told me that this group existed, so I joined. Happy I did too. As far as the work history is concerned, since it's your dad's ssn it's your dad working at the restaurant. As for a bank account, unless you have your own ssn it may be hard to get a bank account. Now for the underage drinking, it can delay your time line but I would not worry. I will do a service check and see what's going on. Stay positive and make sure you read post with others with very similar past and gage your time line from them. Everyone is different.

I agree. I think they should work together to better the nation not tear it apart. There need to be a better reform something with a guarantee pathway to citizenship. If we wanted to live anywhere else we would not be here, so why can't we be citizens one day...

Me too.... Sigh.

Fred, you can now file for statues check, call them and let them do it for you over the phone.

congrats!!!!!!!

felonies are tough to get approved with...

@dream_chaser I think you are quite lucky, you may not be eligible for daca but you came through with a visa, sooo you must have a I-94 which means marriage to an American partner guarantees you a green card and future citizenship. Good luck!

Yes

congrats yosbilrodr!!!!!!!!!!!

Awe, but you only just began. Don't worry your time will come.

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot woot!!

Call uscis and ask them, because my sister was given a hard time when she went there and she had her green card. Although it is a American territory there is no guarantee you will have access back to the mother land, which is why Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico is off my traveling list for now.
