I would get that warrant fixed before applying.

I'm guessing we will have to fill out an application, and then we will be given a Provisional Legal Status, after 5 years, we can apply for Permanent Residence.

From my understanding, DACA approved will be grandfathered into "Provisional Legal Status" which is like being a Permanent Resident, with some restrictions. After 5 years, we will be able to become full Permanent Residents, while at the same time, become eligible to apply for Citizenship. New Info: In such a climate, the Senate bill is much less restrictive in terms of its eligibility criteria and more generous in what it offers than were previous versions of the DREAM Act, according to a legislative summary of the bill and additional details provided by a Senate aide. The Senate bill states that potential DREAMers must have been brought to the US at age 15 or before, been present in the US since Dec. 31, 2011, obtain a high school diploma or equivalent, and pursue higher education or serve in the military. After five years, DREAMers not only will be eligible for green cards (otherwise known as a “legal permanent resident”), but also will become immediately eligible for US citizenship. That’s versus a minimum of 10 years for a green card and 15 years for citizenship for most other undocumented people. Praeli credits Sen. Richard Durbin (D) of Illinois, the majority whip and longtime sponsor of a DREAM Act, for playing a key role in securing this five-year path to US citizenship, the fastest such route offered by any DREAM bill. What’s gone? While previous DREAM bills restricted eligibility to those under the age of 30, the current Senate bill has no such cap. Past measures required five years of continuous residency in the US – the current measure stipulates only the time individuals must have been brought into the country and their age at that point. This lifting of the age caps was a key DREAMer demand, Praeli says. “It is only logical that for someone who has been here since before the age of 16, but they are now 35 or 40, they have greater equities [in the US] than someone who is younger," she says. "It’s almost like logic came back to people: ‘Oh, yes, someone who has been ‘aged out’ is still a dreamer.' ” Moreover, potential DREAMers who have been deported would be allowed to apply for inclusion in the policy if they would otherwise have been able to apply except for the fact of their deportation, a new avenue not available in prior legislation. Previous DREAM bills not only offered hope to those already deported, but also explicitly declined to shield from deportation potential DREAMers still in the US. The Senate bill would also repeal the law that some states interpret as barring the undocumented from receiving in-state tuition rates at public universities, another novel development. And then there is the fact that DREAMers' path to citizenship is easier than for others in the US illegally. Only DREAMers and longtime agricultural workers would be able to get on a route to US citizenship without waiting for certain border security metrics to be reached. While the vast majority of illegal immigrants in America will have to pay as much as $1,500 apiece in fines, the DREAMers will avoid most of those charges. Those who have already been offered temporary protection – some 450,000 as of the end of March – would be “grandfathered” in to provisional legal status.

Your I-765 application, will only be processed after you have been approved for DACA, which that can take anywhere between 2-6 months. Some people have been waiting even longer than that.

That's still not known yet.

Basically people who were brought here by their parents as kids and never left. Grew up here, went to school here, basically grew up as Americans.

Congratulations!

But in the RFE, for what dates did they request more evidence?

So what was requested of you in the RFE letter and what did you send as evidence to that RFE?

Hopefully they release the entire thing today.

They will ask for your Biometrics appointment letter and a photo ID, like a passport.

You can't join with DACA. You need to be a Permanent Resident or US Citizen. With the CIR looming close, it looks like they are going to incorporate the Dream Act into it, so Dreamers will be able to join the military if it passes.

This is how I did it.

You can fly within the U.S. with just a state issued ID, nothing else is required.

How many items and what items did you send per year for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012?

We might be able to offer better advice if we were able to see exactly what the letter said. Like pswa stated, just black out your personal info in Paint.

Would you be able to upload the letter and post it here?

You don't have a status with DACA, just legal presence for 2 years. You can't join the military unless your ex husband had petitioned for you and you had become a Permanent Resident.

Yeah, you just need the number. The SSN card should arrive within a week.

You can go back to the SSA office 1-2 days after you apply and ask them if you have been issued an SSN number, if you have, you can then ask them for a printout.

Like Rawf said, there's no way for them to even find out...even if they did, that wouldn't affect you.

Well, you're supposed to send evidence from June 15, 2007 up until the date you apply. About the June 15 requirement, your late May evidence might or might not work.

What was the closest thing you sent in after June 15?

You don't need to provide evidence for exactly that day. You can submit something dated early June and something after June 15 and that will count as proof for June 15. I sent ebay evidence that was from June 10 when I put something for sale and June 27 when I bought an item.

Plenty people have received RFEs. It can take anywhere within a few weeks to a few months to receive a response.
